Bugzilla Anthropology January 29th 2013
ElasticSearch
ElasticSearch (ES) is a fast and scalable document store. Each Bugzilla bug is extracted, comments and titles removed, and inserted into ES as a series of JSON documents; each represeting a point on the bug history. This is done for all bugs, including security bugs.
Publicizing ES Data
Going through a security review [1] to identify the changes required to publicize the ES data.
Motivation
1) The academic community has an interest in Mozilla's rich bug repository:
- 'Olga Baysal' – University of Waterloo - Specifically looking at review times and how the rapid release cycle has change them: [2]
- Sean O'Riordain – PhD into the statistics of bugs in software at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland
- 'David Eaves' – Has interest in what motivates/discourages volunteer contributions at Mozilla: [3]
- Working Conference on Mining Software Repositories (MSR) – May focus on the Mozilla codebase in 2014 [4]
2) Increasing the number of mind working on dashboards: We can see the effects of BZ Rest interface, and we can assume more is possible with faster access:
Transcripts
Below are the results of the interviews conducted so far. These are the raw transcripts so they are unfiltered and the raw input that was given by the participants. Summaries of this information will be coming but these will be useful for those that want to dig a little deeper.

Gathering statistics on Bugzilla usage is a good way to provide an additional perspective that can help corroborate or question the information we gather via the interviews. A tool has emerged that seems to provide some solid insight into this area.
As this data significant influence on the interpretation of interview findings, verifying that the data presented is accurate is very important. This work is currently being discussed on the following Etherpad:
