We want to automate priority assessment of software defects. To do so we provide a tool which uses an explainability-driven framework and classical machine learning algorithms to keep the decisions transparent. Differing from other approaches we only use objective and categorical fields from the bug tracking system as features. This makes our approach lightweight and extremely fast. We perform binary classification with priority labels corresponding to deadlines. Additionally, we evaluate the tool on real data to ensure good performance in the practical use case.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
