Ruchika Malhotra, Nidhi Kapoor, Rishabh Jain, Sahaj Biyani . Severity Assessment of Software Defect Reports using Text Classification. International Journal of Computer Applications. 83, 11 ( December 2013), 13-16. DOI=10.5120/14492-2622
Defect severity assessment is essential in order to allocate testing resources and effectively plan testing activities. In this paper, we use text classification techniques to predict and assess the severity of defects. The results are based on defect description of issue requirements obtained from NASA project. We have used Support Vector Machine technique to predict defect severity from issue reports.
