Defect prediction, the task of predicting presence defects in source code artifacts, has broad application software development. prediction faces two major challenges, label scarcity, where only a small percentage artifacts are labeled, and data imbalance, majority labeled non-defective. Moreover, current defect methods ignore impact information propagation among this negligence leads to perfor...
