Abstract
Patch quality may affect software maintenance cost. However, there is a lack of understanding why patches are accepted/rejected. To provide empirical evidence of patch acceptance, we (1) present patch review criteria based on our literature survey and manual patch inspection, (2) show the result of a large scale online survey to understand the opinion of both patch reviewers and submitters, (3) propose patch acceptance prediction features based on the patch review criteria which show reasonable performance.
