Software Defect Prediction (SDP) is one of the most assisting activities of the Testing Phase of SDLC. It identifies the modules that are defect prone and require extensive testing. This way, the testing resources can be used efficiently without violating the constraints. Though SDP is very helpful in testing, it's not always easy to predict the defective modules. There are various issues that hinder the smooth performance as well as use of the Defect Prediction models. In this report, we have distinguished some of the major issues of SDP and studied what has been done so far to address them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
