Abstract
Software development is a collaborative process in which programmers build software by integrating all the stages of the software development life cycle (SDLC). A software repository is a central file storage location where various software packages are stored, and these packages are retrieved and shared between all the software development team members at various locations. The software repositories are divided into various categories based on cooperation, coordination, and communication among the stakeholders as well as evolutionary changes to various software arti-facts such as source code repositories, software bug repositories, historical repositories, run-time repositories and requirement documents, and other documentation. The software bug repository is an essential repository among the entire repositories since the completion of the software is entirely dependent on the bug fixing mechanism associated with this repository in software development. Today’s software systems are larger and more complex as they go through various stages from the requirement 98analysis phase to the maintenance phase. A variety of tasks and activities are carried out in each stage of software development, and these are expensive and vulnerable to errors. During software development, a large number of software bugs are continuously generated, and that has become the main reason for the delay in software completion. Hence, there is a vast demand for computational intelligent techniques to accomplish various tasks of software development. In recent years, fuzzy logic techniques emerged and played an important role in various fields of data mining and text mining. Since most of the content related to software bug repositories is text in nature, it is possible to effectively use fuzzy logic techniques to analyze these software bugs.
