Software Fault Prediction with Object-Oriented Metrics Based Artificial Immune Recognition System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software testing is a time-consuming and expensive process. Software fault prediction models are used to identify fault-prone classes automatically before system testing. These models can reduce the testing duration, project risks, resource and infrastructure costs. In this study, we propose a novel fault prediction model to improve the testing process. Chidamber-Kemerer Object-Oriented metrics and method-level metrics such as Halstead and McCabe are used as independent metrics in our Artificial Immune Recognition System based model. According to this study, class-level metrics based model which applies AIRS algorithm can be used successfully for fault prediction and its performance is higher than J48 based approach. A fault prediction tool which uses this model can be easily integrated into the testing process.

The aim of this paper is to rank the impact of Object Oriented(OO) metrics in fault prediction modeling using Artificial Neural Networks(ANNs). Past studies on empirical validation of object oriented metrics as fault predictors using ANNs have focused on the predictive quality of neural networks versus standard statistical techniques. In this empirical study we turn our attention to the capabil...
متن کاملEvaluation of Classifiers in Software Fault-Proneness Prediction
Reliability of software counts on its fault-prone modules. This means that the less software consists of fault-prone units the more we may trust it. Therefore, if we are able to predict the number of fault-prone modules of software, it will be possible to judge the software reliability. In predicting software fault-prone modules, one of the contributing features is software metric by which one ...

Demand for quality software has undergone with rapid growth during the last few years. This is leading to an increase in the development of metrics for measuring the properties of software such as coupling, cohesion or inheritance that can be used in early quality assessments. Quality models that explore the relationship between these properties and quality attributes such as fault proneness, m...
