abstract I need to change some piece of code. What do I need to consider? Is there anything else I need to change? To answer such questions, one needs to know not only the software, but also its development process. To learn about the process, one can mine software repositories such as version archives and bug databases - and learn, for instance, which changes are correlated with each other, and better yet, which activities are correlated with success or failure. In this tutorial, we discuss the state of the art in mining repositories, using real-life development processes from groups such as Eclipse or Microsoft Windows. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and opportunities in research.
