Naive Defect-Recidivism Mining Is Inflated by Agent Workflow Artefacts: A Construct-Validity Study at Corpus Scale
2026-08-18
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Context</bold> . Mining version-control history for recidivism signals is a tempting shortcut for comparing AI-agent and human fix durability. <bold>Objective</bold> . We test whether such signals validly measure genuine defect recurrence. <bold>Method</bold> . We define Defect Resolution Debt (DRD) from timestamped Git/GitHub events and apply it to a 3,040-defect mined cor...
