Title:	Automated Duplicate Detection for Bugzilla
Abstract:	Bugzilla guides the maintenance activities of software developers. The utility of Bugzilla is, however, hampered by an excessive number of duplicate bug reports–in some projects as many as a quarter of all reports are duplicates. Developers must manually identify duplicate bug reports, but this process is time-consuming and exacerbates the high cost of software maintenance. I propose a system that automatically classifies duplicate bug reports in Bugzilla.
