We are not the first to find factors that influence the lifetime of bug reports. Independently from us, Hooimeijer and Weimer [14] observed for FIREFOX that bug reports with attachments get fixed later,while bug reports with many comments get fixed sooner. They also confirmed our results that easy-to-read reports are fixed faster. Panjer observed for ECLIPSE that comment count and activity as well as severity affect the lifetime the most [26]. In contrast, our findings are for factors that can be determined while a user is reporting a bug. Each finding suggests a way to increase the likelihood of their bugs to either get fixed at all, or get fixed faster. Keen users are likely to pickup on such cues since this can lessen the amount of time they have to deal with the bug.
