Implementation of Calculating Bugs While Testing the Compiler

[Sahil2004]

Description

We need to implement a system for calculating and tracking bugs while testing the compiler. This system should help identify, categorize, and track bugs discovered during testing, thereby improving the reliability and robustness of the compiler.

Requirements

1. Bug Detection:

   • Develop mechanisms to automatically detect bugs during the testing of the compiler.
   • Include detection of common issues such as syntax errors, runtime errors, and logical errors.

2. Bug Classification:

   • Implement a system to classify bugs based on their type, severity, and impact.
   • Ensure bugs are categorized for easier analysis and prioritization.

3. Bug Tracking:

   • Develop a tracking system to log detected bugs.
   • Include details such as bug description, steps to reproduce, severity, and status.

4. Reporting:

   • Create a reporting system to generate comprehensive bug reports.
   • Include summaries, detailed descriptions, and classification statistics.

5. Integration with Testing Framework:

   • Integrate bug detection and tracking with the existing testing framework.
   • Ensure seamless operation without significant performance overhead.

Tasks

1. Bug Detection

   • [ ] Develop automatic bug detection mechanisms.
   • [ ] Ensure detection of syntax errors, runtime errors, and logical errors.
   • [ ] Integrate with the compiler testing suite.

2. Bug Classification

   • [ ] Implement a system to classify bugs by type, severity, and impact.
   • [ ] Ensure easy categorization for analysis and prioritization.
   • [ ] Develop a taxonomy for bug classification.

3. Bug Tracking

   • [ ] Develop a bug tracking system to log detected bugs.
   • [ ] Include fields for bug description, reproduction steps, severity, and status.
   • [ ] Implement a searchable and filterable bug database.

4. Reporting

   • [ ] Create a reporting system for comprehensive bug reports.
   • [ ] Include summaries and detailed descriptions of bugs.
   • [ ] Provide classification statistics and visualizations.

5. Integration with Testing Framework

   • [ ] Integrate bug detection with the existing testing framework.
   • [ ] Ensure minimal performance overhead.
   • [ ] Automate the logging and reporting of bugs during test execution.

Additional Information

• Target Applications: The bug tracking system should cover the entire compiler codebase and its associated test suite.
• Performance Metrics: Measure and report metrics such as the number of bugs detected, severity distribution, and time to resolution.
• Flexibility: Ensure the bug tracking system can be easily extended to support new types of bugs and evolving testing requirements.
