Recent studies of software defect prediction typically produce datasets, methods and
frameworks which allow software engineers to focus on development activities in terms of …

Software engineering discipline contains several prediction approaches such as test effort
prediction, correction cost prediction, fault prediction, reusability prediction, security …

Defect prediction techniques could potentially help us to focus quality-assurance efforts on
the most defect-prone files. Modern statistical tools make it very easy to quickly build and …

There has been a great deal of interest in defect prediction: using prediction models trained
on historical data to help focus quality-control resources in ongoing development. Since …

The open source movement has grown steadily and matured in recent years, and this
growth has been mirrored by a rise in open source related research. The objective of this …

Software change prediction is crucial in order to efficiently plan resource allocation during
testing and maintenance phases of a software. Moreover, correct identification of change …

Many studies have investigated the relationships between object-oriented (OO) metrics and
change-proneness and conclude that OO metrics are able to predict the extent of change of …

Continuous changes applied during software maintenance risk to deteriorate the structure of
a system and are a threat to its maintainability. In this context, predicting the portions of …

In this paper, we define and validate a new multidimensional measure of Open Source
Software (OSS) project survivability, called Project Viability. Project viability has three …

Variation in software requirements, technological upgrade and occurrence of defects
necessitate change in software for its effective use. Early detection of those classes of a …
