Software defect prediction analysis is an important problem in the software engineering community. Software defect prediction can directly affect the quality and has achieved significant popularity in the last few years. This software prediction analysis helps in delivering the best development and makes the maintenance of software more reliable. This is because predicting the software faults in the earlier phase improves the software quality,efficiency, reliability and the overall cost in SDLC. Developing and improving the software defect prediction model is a challenging task and many techniques are introducing for better performance. Supervised ML algorithms have been used to predict future software faults based on historical data[1]. These classifiers are Naïve Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine(SVM) and Artificial neural network(ANN). The evaluation process showed that ML algorithms can be used effectively with a high accuracy rate. The comparison is made with other machine learning algorithms to finds the algorithms which gives more accuracy. And the results show that machine learning algorithms gives the best performance. The existence of software defects affects dramatically on software reliability, quality, and maintenance cost. Achieving reliable software also is hard work, even the software applied carefully because most time there is hidden errors. In addition, developing a software defect prediction model which could predict the faulty modules in the early phase is a real challenge in software engineering. Software defect prediction analysis is an essential activity in software development. This is because predicting the bugs prior to software deployment achieves user satisfaction, and helps in increasing the overall performance of the software. Moreover, predicting software defects early improves software adaptation to different environments and increases resource utilization.

Programming deformation gauge expect a crucial activity in keeping up extraordinary programming and diminishing the cost of programming improvement. It urges adventure executives to relegate time and advantages for desert slanted modules through early flaw distinguishing proof. Programming flaw desire is a matched portrayal issue which orchestrates modules of programming into both 2 arrangements: Defect– slanted and not-deformation slanted modules. Misclassifying blemish slanted modules as not-disfigurement slanted modules prompts a higher misclassification cost than misclassifying not-flaw slanted modules as deformation slanted ones. The AI estimation used in this paper is a mix of Cost-Sensitive Variance Score (CSVS), Cost-Sensitive Laplace Score (CSLS) and Cost-Sensitive Constraint Score (CSCS). The proposed Algorithm is surveyed and demonstrates better execution and low misclassification cost when differentiated and the 3 calculations executed autonomously.


Programming deformity forecast assumes a vital job in keeping up great programming and decreasing the expense of programming improvement. It encourages venture directors to assign time and assets to desert inclined modules through early imperfection identification. Programming imperfection expectation is a paired characterization issue which arranges modules of programming into both of the 2 classifications: Defect– inclined and not-deformity inclined modules. Misclassifying imperfection inclined modules as not-deformity inclined modules prompts a higher misclassification cost than misclassifying not-imperfection inclined modules as deformity inclined ones. The machine learning calculation utilized in this paper is a blend of Cost-Sensitive Variance Score (CSVS), Cost-Sensitive Laplace Score (CSLS) and Cost-Sensitive Constraint Score (CSCS). The proposed Algorithm is assessed and indicates better execution and low misclassification cost when contrasted and the 3 algorithms executed independently.


Software defect prediction model based on the mutation testing is a pioneering method for the fault-based unit testing in which faults are detected by executing certain test data. This paper presents an Optimized Mutation Testing (OMT) technique based software defect prediction model using the concept of hybrid metaheuristic technique. Here, hybridization of OMT with Enhanced Learning-to-Rank (ELTR) is used for the feature extraction from mutation testing based data generation mechanism. In the proposed approach, first hybrid technique is used for the test data feature extraction then this data is exercised to cover all mutants present in the specific program under test and then machine learning based Random Forest as an ensemble classifier is used as a classifier. The proposed method can improve the testing as well defect prediction efficiency by deleting the redundant test data. In this research work, two models are implemented for the software defect prediction using the ELTR and LTR. At last, the performance parameters such as Detection Rate, Defect Predication Value, Execution Time, Percentage of Fault Negative Rate and Percentage of Fault Rate are measured and compared with the existing work to validate the proposed model.
