Prest: An Intelligent Software Metrics Extraction, Analysis and Defect Prediction Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
Test managers use intelligent predictors to increase testing efficiency and to decide on when to stop testing. However, those predictors would be impractical to use in an industry setting, unless measurement and prediction processes are automated. Prest as an open source tool aims to address this problem. Compared to other open source prediction and analysis tools Prest is unique that it collects source code metrics and call graphs in 5 different programming languages, and performs learning based defect prediction and analysis. So far Prest in real life industry projects helped companies to achieve an average of 32% efficiency increase in testing effort.

Significance of Different Software Metrics in Defect Prediction
This paper presents an empirical analysis of significance of different process and product metrics in defect prediction models. 48 releases of 15 open-source and 38 releases of 7 proprietary projects were investigated. Pearson correlation coefficients with the number of defects were calculated for each of the metrics respectively. Subsequently defect prediction models were built using linear st...
متن کاملDefect prediction with bad smells in code
Streszczenie Background. Defect prediction in software can be highly beneficial for development projects, when prediction is highly effective and defect-prone areas are predicted correctly. One of the key elements to gain effective software defect prediction is proper selection of metrics used for dataset preparation. Objective. The purpose of this research is to verify, whether code smells met...
متن کاملPredicting Object-Oriented Software Quality: A Case Study
Software quality lags far behind the quality of any other engineered product that humans create, and yet software systems are essential to the modern world. Software engineers have long proposed reusing existing software components to improve overall system quality. As part of a reuse process, the reliability of a component must be established; most commonly, this is done by using a software de...
متن کاملUsing Object-Oriented Design Metrics to Predict Software Defects
Many object-oriented design metrics have been developed [1,3,8,17,24] to help in predict software defects or evaluate design quality. Since a defect prediction model may give crucial clues about the distribution and location of defects and, thereby, test prioritization, accurate prediction can save costs in the testing process. Considerable research has been performed on defect prediction metho...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Defect Prediction via Exploiting Correlation Subspace
Software defect prediction generally builds models from intra-project data. Lack of training data at the early stage of software testing limits the efficiency of prediction in practice. Thereby researchers proposed cross-project defect prediction using the data from other projects. Most previous efforts assumed the cross-project defect data have the same metrics set which means the metrics used...
