ReLink: Prediction-based PR-issue linking tool

ReLink is a web-based tool enhancing traceability in software development by predicting and visualizing links between pull requests and issues. It uses text similarity and heuristics to score link strength from 0 to 100. Evaluated in an open-source project and an industry case study, ReLink achieved high accuracy and precision, confirming its practicality and effectiveness in real-world applications.

• Offers a user-friendly, ready-to-use web application, differentiating it from current alternatives that are not directly accessible to software practitioners. • Provides balanced precision and recall scores, an achievement not typically seen in the literature and crucial for systems combining automated prediction with human supervision. • Introduces a visual analysis feature for tracking the PR- issue linkage lifecycle in software projects, enabling the user to extract more useful insights.

Supports Github, Jira and Azure Devops. Works on Windows, Linux versions with docker images
