Explainable Priority Assessment of Software-Defects using Categorical Features at SAP HANA

• We want to automate priority assessment of software defects. To do so we provide a tool which uses an explainability-driven framework and classical machine learning algorithms to keep the decisions transparent. Differing from other approaches we only use objective and categorical fields from the bug tracking system as features. This makes our approach lightweight and extremely fast. We perform binary classification with priority labels corresponding to deadlines. Additionally, we evaluate the tool on real data to ensure good performance in the practical use case. © 2020 ACM.
