Abstract
We present a model to describe open source software (OSS) bug dynamics. We validated the model using real world data and performed simulation experiments. The results show that the model has the ability to predict bug occurrences and failure rates. The results also reveal that there exists an optimal release cycle for effectively managing OSS quality.
