Abstract:Because defects in software modules (e.g., classes) might lead to product failure and financial loss, software defect prediction enables us to better understand and control software quality. Software development is a dynamic evolutionary process that may result in data distributions (e.g., defect characteristics) varying from version to version. In this case, effective cross‐version defect prediction (CVDP) is not easy to achieve. In this paper, we aim to investigate whether the defect prediction method of the… Show more
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.
