Abstract: This article is mainly focused on finding the best possible way to rectify bug fixing rate (BFR) and bug fixing time (BFT). Further, versatile software projects have been verified when materialising the bug fixing rate. To increase the bug fixing rate, bug traceability is reduced by virtue of version tag in each and every component of a software deliverable. Software build release time is optimised by using mathematical optimisation techniques such as software reliability growth and non-homogeneous Poisson process models. This is very much essential in the present market scenario. The build inconsistency and automation are also rectified in this erudite research work. The developed software is free from defects and improves the software quality by increasing bug fixing rate.

Keywords: bug fixing rate; bug fixing time; bug traceability time; software build automation; software reliability; version tag; software risk; version control system.
