Identification And Analysis Of Causes For Software Bug Rejection With Their Impact Over Testing Efficiency

Abstract

A significant percentage of software bugs reported during test cycles falls in a category of Invalid bug reports also known as rejected bugs. This research presents the actual percentage of bugs rejection based on data collected from bug tracking system. This paper provides a list of reasons behind bug rejection, their relation with severity level and possible threats that can affect software testing efficiency with reference to the life of a rejected bug.
