Abstract

Software evolution is an essential foundation in delivering technology that adapts to user needs and industry dynamics. In an era of rapid technological development, software evolution is not just a necessity, but a must to ensure long-term relevance. Developers are faced with major challenges in maintaining and improving software quality over time. This research aims to investigate the correlation between feature volatility and bug occurrence rate in software evolution, to understand the impact of dynamic feature changes on software quality and development process. The research method uses commit analysis on the dataset as a marker of bug presence, studying the complex relationship between feature volatility and bug occurrence rate to reveal the interplay in software development. Validated datasets are measured by metrics and correlations are measured by Pearson-product-moment analysis. This research found a strong relationship between feature volatility and bug occurrence rate, suggesting that an increase in feature changes correlates with an increase in bugs that impact software stability and quality. This research provides important insights into the correlation between feature volatility and bug occurrence rates, guiding developers and quality practitioners to develop more effective testing strategies in dynamic development environments.
