Abstract

Understanding the bugs in software platforms is extremely valuable for developers, especially during the testing phase. However, this is a rarely investigated issue for open source Cloud platforms till date. In this paper, we present the analysis of 146 bug reports from Apache Virtual Computing Lab, a representative open source Cloud platform. Analysis is performed by means of an empirical approach tailored to open source Clouds. For VCL development and test teams, these results provide useful guidelines, e.g., directing volunteers' effort to components where more residual bugs are expected to be found.
