As developers work on a software product they accumulate
expertise, including expertise about the code base of the
software product. We call this type of expertise ‘implementation
expertise’. Knowing the set of developers who have
implementation expertise for a software product has many
important uses. This paper presents an empirical evaluation
of two approaches to determining implementation expertise
from the data in source and bug repositories. The
expertise sets created by the approaches are compared to
those provided by experts and evaluated using the measures
of precision and recall. We found that both approaches are
good at finding all of the appropriate developers, although
they vary in how many false positives are returned.
