Title
Patch rejection in Firefox: negative reviews, backouts, and issue reopening
Abstract
Writing patches to fix bugs or implement new features is an important software development task, as it contributes to raise the quality of a software system. Not all patches are accepted in the first attempt, though. Patches can be rejected because of problems found during code review, automated testing, or manual testing. A high rejection rate, specially later in the lifecycle, may indicate problems with the software development process.
