快速发布周期的持续时间是否影响bug处理活动？
Does the duration of rapid release cycles affect the bug handling activity?
摘要：
软件项目通过所谓的发布定期更新新功能和错误修复。近年来，许多软件项目已经转向更短的发布周期，这可能会影响错误处理活动。过去的研究主要集中在从传统的切换到快速发布周期方面的错误处理活动的影响，但快速发布周期的持续时间的影响尚未被研究。我们实证研究了420个具有快速发布周期的开源项目的发布，以了解可变和快速发布周期持续时间对错误处理活动的影响。我们将这些项目的发布分为五类发布周期持续时间。对于每个项目，我们调查的顺序是如何发布相关的错误处理活动的指标，我们研究的周期持续时间的变化对错误修复的影响。我们的研究结果并没有显示出任何统计学上的显着差异，研究的错误处理活动的指标存在可变的快速发布周期的持续时间。这表明快速发布周期的持续时间似乎不会影响bug处理活动。
英文摘要：
Software projects are regularly updated with new functionality and bug fixes through so-called releases. In recent years, many software projects have been shifting to shorter release cycles and this can affect the bug handling activity. Past research has focused on the impact of switching from traditional to rapid release cycles with respect to bug handling activity, but the effect of the rapid release cycle duration has not yet been studied. We empirically investigate releases of 420 open source projects with rapid release cycles to understand the effect of variable and rapid release cycle durations on bug handling activity. We group the releases of these projects into five categories of release cycle durations. For each project, we investigate how the sequence of releases is related to bug handling activity metrics and we study the effect of the variability of cycle durations on bug fixing. Our results did not reveal any statistically significant difference for the studied bug handling activity metrics in the presence of variable rapid release cycle durations. This suggests that the duration of fast release cycles does not seem to impact bug handling activity.
