소프트웨어 제품의 품질을 보장하기 위해서는 제품을 개발하는 단계에 미리 결함율을 예측하여 원하는 수준의 품질을 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 결함은 사용자의 요구사항이 제품으로 구현되고 기능에 대한 테스트가 수행되는 단계에 가장 객관적이며 정량적으로 관리될 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 통합테스트에 대한 계획을 수립하는 단계에 제품에 대한 결함율을 미리 예측하여 제품 결함율이 조직의 관리범위에 들어올 수 있도록 통제하는 결함예측모델을 제안한다. 조직의 제품 결함율 베이스라인을 설정하고 통합테스트 결함율에 영향을 미치는 변수들과의 회귀분석을 통해 통합테스트 결함예측모형을 구축한다. 또한 제품 결함율에 영향을 미치는 변수들과의 회귀분석을 통해 제품 결함예측모형을 구축하고 결함예측모형을 활용해 제품 결함율을 분석 및 통제한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 결함예측모델은 실제 프로젝트에 적용하여 실효성을 검증하였으며 제품이 완성되기 전에 결함율을 예측하여 통제할 수 있게 함으로써 소프트웨어 품질을 향상한다.

To support an efficient management of software verification and validation activities, many defect prediction models have been proposed based on object oriented metrics. In order to apply defect prediction models, we need to determine a threshold value. Because we cannot know actually where defects are, it is difficult to determine threshold. Therefore, we performed a series of experiments to explore the issue of determining a threshold. In the experiments, we applied defect prediction models to other systems different from the system used in building the prediction model. Specifically, we have applied three models - Olague model, Zhou model, and Gyimothy model - to four different systems. As a result, we found that the prediction capabilities varied considerably with a chosen threshold value. Therefore, we need to perform a study on the determination of an appropriate threshold value to improve the applicably of defect prediction models.

To support an efficient management of software verification and validation activities, much research has been conducted to predict defects in early phase. And defect prediction models have been proposed to predict defects. But the generality of the models has not been experimentally studied for other software system. In other words, most of prediction models were applied only to the same system that had been used to build the prediction models themselves. Therefore, we performed an experiment to explore generality of major prediction models. In the experiment, we applied three defects prediction models to three different systems. As a result, we cannot find their generality of defect prediction capability. The cause is analyzed to result from a different metric distribution between the systems.

Most of the software fault prediction studies focused on the binary classification model that predicts whether an input entity has faults or not. However the ability to predict entity fault-proneness in various severity categories is more useful because not all faults have the same severity. In this paper, we propose fault prediction models at different severity levels of faults using traditional size and complexity metrics. They are ternary classification models and use four machine learning algorithms for their training. Empirical analysis is performed using two NASA public data sets and a performance measure, accuracy. The evaluation results show that backpropagation neural network model outperforms other models on both data sets, with about 81% and 88% in terms of accuracy score respectively.

Bug reports are essential documents for developers to localize and fix bugs. These reports contain information regarding software bugs or failures that occur during software operation and maintenance phase. Information Retrieval-based Bug Localization (IR-BL) techniques have been proposed to reduce the time and cost it takes for developers to resolve bug reports. However, if a low-quality bug report is submitted, the performance of such techniques can be significantly degraded. To address this problem, we propose a quality prediction method that selects low-quality bug reports. This process; defines a Quality property of a Bug report as a Query (Q4BaQ) and predicts the quality of the bug reports using machine learning. We evaluated the proposed method with 3 open source projects. The results of the experiment show that the proposed method achieved an average F-measure of 87.31% and outperformed previous prediction techniques by up to 6.62% in the F-measure. Finally, a combination of the proposed method and traditional automatic query reformulation method improved the MRR and MAP by 0.9% and 1.3%, respectively.

Software Defect Prediction (SDP) enhances the efficiency of software development by proactively identifying modules likely to contain errors. A major challenge in SDP is improving prediction performance. Recent research has applied deep learning techniques to the field of SDP, with the SAINT model particularly gaining attention for its outstanding performance in analyzing structured data. This study compares the SAINT model with other leading models (XGBoost, Random Forest, CatBoost) and investigates the latest deep learning techniques applicable to SDP. SAINT consistently demonstrated superior performance, proving effective in improving defect prediction accuracy. These findings highlight the potential of the SAINT model to advance defect prediction methodologies in practical software development scenarios, and were achieved through a rigorous methodology including cross-validation, feature scaling, and comparative analysis.

This study presents a process management method for the detection of casting defects during in high-pressure die casting based on machine learning. The model predicts the defects of the next cycle by extracting the features appearing over the previous cycles. For design of the gearbox, the proposed model detects shrinkage defects with data from three cycles in advance with 98.9% accuracy and 96.8% recall rates.

To support an efficient management of software verification and validation activities, many defect prediction models have been proposed based on object oriented metrics. They usually adopt logistic regression analysis, And, they state that the correctness of prediction is about 60${\sim}$70%, We performed a similar experiment with Eclipse 3.3 to check their prediction effectiveness, However, the result shows that correctness is about 40% which is much lower than the original results. We also found that univariate logistic regression analysis produces better results than multivariate logistic regression analysis.

In recent software defect prediction research, defect prediction between cross projects and cross-version projects are actively studied. Cross-version defect prediction studies assume WP(Within-Project) so far. However, in the CV(Cross-Version) environment, the previous work does not consider the distribution difference between project versions is important. In this study, we propose an automated Bayesian optimization framework that considers distribution differences between different versions. Through this, it automatically selects whether to perform transfer learning according to the difference in distribution. This framework is a technique that optimizes the distribution difference between versions, transfer learning, and hyper-parameters of the classifier. We confirmed that the method of automatically selecting whether to perform transfer learning based on the distribution difference is effective through experiments. Moreover, we can see that using our optimization framework is effective in improving performance and, as a result, can reduce software inspection effort. This is expected to support practical quality assurance activities for new version projects in a cross-version project environment.

In this paper, health monitoring technique has been studied for performance deterioration caused by the defects of the gas turbine. The parameters for performance diagnostics have been extracted by using GSP program for modeling the target engine. The virtual sensor model for the health monitoring has been built of those data. The position and magnitude of the defects of the engine components have been determined by using Multiple Linear Regression technique and the method using the weight in order to diagnose the single and multiple defects.
