To improve the software quality the number of errors or faults must be removed from the software. This chapter presents a study towards machine learning and software quality prediction as an expert system. The purpose of this chapter is to apply the machine learning approaches such as case-based reasoning to predict software quality. Five different similarity measures, namely, Euclidean, Canberra, Exponential, Clark and Manhattan are used for retrieving the matching cases from the knowledgebase. The use of different similarity measures to find the best method significantly increases the estimation accuracy and reliability. Based on the research findings in this book it can be concluded that applying similarity measures in case-based reasoning may be a viable technique for software fault prediction

Making R4 model effective and efficient I have introduced some new features, i.e., renovation of knowledgebase (KBS) and reducing the maintenance cost by removing the duplicate record from the KBS. Renovation of knowledgebase is the process of removing duplicate record stored in knowledgebase and adding world new problems along with world new solutions. This paper explores case-based reasoning and its applications for software quality improvement through early prediction of error patterns. It summarizes a variety of techniques for software quality prediction in the domain of software engineering. The system predicts the error level with respect to LOC and with respect to development time, and both affects the quality level. This paper also reviews four existing models of case-based reasoning (CBR). The paper presents a work in which I have expanded our previous work (Rashid et al., 2012). I have used different similarity measures to find the best method that increases reliability. The present work is also credited through introduction of some new terms like coefficient of efficiency, i.e., developer's ability.

Highly reliable software is becoming an essential ingredient in many systems. However, assuring reliability often entails time-consuming costly development processes. One cost-effective strategy is to target reliability-enhancement activities to those modules that are likely to have the most problems. Software quality prediction models can predict the number of faults expected in each module early enough for reliability enhancement to be effective. This paper introduces a case-based reasoning technique for the prediction of software quality factors. Case-based reasoning is a technique that seeks to answer new problems by identifying similar "cases" from the past. A case-based reasoning system can function as a software quality prediction model. To our knowledge, this study is the first to use case-based reasoning systems for predicting quantitative measures of software quality. A case study applied case-based reasoning to software quality modeling of a family of full-scale industrial software systems. The case-based reasoning system's accuracy was much better than a corresponding multiple linear regression model in predicting the number of design faults. When predicting faults in code, its accuracy was significantly better than a corresponding multiple linear regression model for two of three test data sets and statistically equivalent for the third.

This chapter enlists and presents an overview of various machine learning approaches. It also explains the machine learning techniques used in the area of software engineering domain especially case-based reasoning method. Case-based reasoning is used to predict software quality of the system by examining a software module and predicting whether it is faulty or non-faulty. In this chapter an attempt has been made to propose a model with the help of previous data which is used for prediction. In this chapter, how machine learning technique such as case-based reasoning has been used for error estimation or fault prediction. Apart from case-based reasoning, some other types of learning methods have been discussed in detail.
