BugMarks: A tool for mapping bugs to source code components

Bugs reports and version archives are two useful sources of information for quality analysts, with the goal of mapping the bugs fixes to source code files. Manually performing this task is as arduous as it is time consuming. We propose a tool which programmatically performs this job in two phases-First, it filters relevant log entries by traversing CVS/SVN log files and then it parses the textual information into tokens to finally store required attributes in a database for future analyses. To users, it offers the flexibility and the liberty with which information can be utilized further, in any way, specific to their studies.
