Stay Professional and Efficient: Automatically Generate Titles for Your Bug Reports

Bug reports in a repository are generally organized line by line in a list-view, with their titles and other meta-data displayed. In this list-view, a concise and precise title plays an important role that enables project practitioners to quickly and correctly digest the core idea of the bug, without carefully reading the corresponding details. However, the quality of bug report titles varies in open-source communities, which may be due to the limited time and unprofessionalism of authors. To help report authors efficiently draft good-quality titles, we propose a method, named iTAPE, to automatically generate titles for their bug reports. iTAPE formulates title generation into a one-sentence summarization task. By properly tackling two domain-specific challenges (i.e. lacking off-the-shelf dataset and handling the low-frequency human-named tokens), iTAPE then generates titles using a Seq2Seq-based model. A comprehensive experimental study shows that iTAPE can obtain fairly satisfactory results, in terms of the comparison with three latest one-sentence summarization works, as well as the feedback from human evaluation.
