Thomas Zimmermann commented on Quality of Bug Reports in Open Source Of course, when you have a stack trace you should add it to the bug report. But that’s not the essence of the presentation. The talk shows that bug reports submitted to bug tracking systems are far from being perfect (no surprise) and what information developers actually want (Slide 15). At the end, we present a prototype tool that interactively recommends what you should add to your bug. In a more recent study we compared the information that developers want to the information that users actually submit (huge mismatch). However, users knew what information developers need (they just don’t send it), which might indicate that they need better tool support to submit relevant information.
