Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for the "bucketing" or categorizing of software failures occurring during software test, and/or during other procedures. Software failure information is received. The software failure information is parsed to generate a raw matrix of software terms, software failures, and an indication of a number of times each software term was found in each software failure. An importance is determined of each software term of the raw matrix with respect to the software failures of the raw matrix to generate a weighted matrix. A failure space is generated based on the determined importance that indicates each software term-software failure pair of the matrix as a vector. A set of clusters representing the vectors in the failure space is determined. Software failures may be automatically assigned to clusters of the set to be "bucketed" or categorized for ease of subsequent analysis.
