- Abstract: Managing issue reports is essential for the evolution and maintenance of software systems. However, manual issue management tasks such as triaging, prioritizing, localizing, and resolving issues are highly resource-intensive for projects with large codebases and users. To address this challenge, we present SPRINT, a GitHub application that utilizes state-of-the-art deep learning techniques to streamline issue management tasks. SPRINT assists developers by: (i) identifying existing issues similar to newly reported ones, (ii) predicting issue severity, and (iii) suggesting code files that likely require modification to solve the issues. We evaluated SPRINT using existing datasets and methodologies, measuring its predictive performance, and conducted a user study with five professional developers to assess its usability and usefulness. The results show that SPRINT is accurate, usable, and useful, providing evidence of its effectiveness in assisting developers in managing issue reports. SPRINT is an open-source tool available at https://github.com/sea-lab-wm/sprint_issue_report_assistant_tool.

Activities [3.2228025627337864]
Software development projects rely on issue tracking systems at the core of tracking maintenance tasks such as bug reports, and enhancement requests.
The handling of issue-reports is critical and requires thorough scanning of the text entered in an issue-report making it a labor-intensive task.
We present a unified framework called MaintainoMATE, which is capable of automatically categorizing the issue-reports in their respective category and further assigning the issue-reports to a developer with relevant expertise.

Existing studies show that multi-task learning with large-scale supervised tasks suffers from negative effects across tasks.
We propose a task prefix guided multi-task pre-training framework to explore the relationships among tasks.
Our model can not only serve as the strong foundation backbone for a wide range of tasks but also be feasible as a probing tool for analyzing task relationships.
