Software bug prediction using object-oriented metrics

Developing Software Bug Prediction Models Using Various Software Metrics as the Bug Indicators

The bug prediction effectiveness reasonably contributes towards enhancing quality of software. Bug indicators contribute significantly in determining the bug prediction approaches and help in achieving software reliability. Various comparative research studies have indicated that Depth of Inheritance (DIT), Weighted Method per Class (WMC), Coupling between Objects (CBO) and Lines of Code (LoC) ...

Object-Oriented Software Design Metrics

Software Design Metrics for Object-Oriented Software

The importance of software measurement is increasing leading to development of new measurement techniques. As the development of object-oriented software is rising, more and more metrics are being defined for object-oriented languages. Many metrics have been proposed related to various object-oriented constructs like class, coupling, cohesion, inheritance, information hiding and polymorphism. T...

Fault Prediction Modeling using Object-Oriented Metrics: An Empirical Study

Software testing is an area where software products are examined through a series of verification and validation processes respectively. This phase of software development carries out the process of detection and removal of software faults. But this detection and removal of faults together consume up to 60% of project budget (Beizer, 1990). Applying equal testing and verification efforts to all...

The prediction of faulty classes using object-oriented design metrics

Contemporary evidence suggests that most field faults in software applications are found in a small percentage of the software’s components. This means that if these faulty software components can be detected early in the development project’s life cycle, mitigating actions can be taken, such as a redesign. For object-oriented applications, prediction models using design metrics can be used to ...
