This book addresses software faults-a critical issue that not only
reduces the quality of software, but also increases their development
costs. Various models for predicting the fault-proneness of software
systems have been proposed; however, most of them provide inadequate
information, limiting their effectiveness. This book focuses on the
prediction of number of faults in software modules, and provides readers
with essential insights into the generalized architecture, different
techniques, and state-of-the art literature. In addition, it covers
various software fault datasets and issues that crop up when predicting
number of faults.
A must-read for readers seeking a "one-stop" source of information on
software fault prediction and recent research trends, the book will
especially benefit those interested in pursuing research in this area.
At the same time, it will provide experienced researchers with a
valuable summary of the latest developments.
