Finding and fixing software bugs is a challenging maintenance task, and a significant amount of effort is invested by software development companies on this issue. In this paper, we use the Eclipse project?s recorded software bug history to predict occurrence of future bugs. The history contains information on when bugs have been reported and subsequently fixed.
