Patch Mining

The patch is function to collects bug fixing commit(BFC). There are three ways to collect bug fixing commit(BFC).


1. Jira
Jira is a repository for managing issues. Jira manages the project with a label indicating the nature of the issue and status information, which is the progress of the issue. DPMiner collects commit hash whose label is bug and progress status is Close.

2. GitHub Issue
GitHub provides an issue function for efficient project management. GitHub helps manage version upgrades, defect detection, and feature enhancements by assigning issue. And the status of the issue is marked as open or closed. DPMiner collects data by considering the issue is a bug and the state is closed as BFC.

3. Commit message
Commit messages are recorded using keywords important to each commit for developers to efficiently maintain and collaborate. If there are "bug" and "fix" keywords in the commit message, that commit considers as BFC. DPMiner collects commit hash whose commit message have "bug" and "fix" keyword.
