Title
Software Defect Prediction Using Genetic Programming and Neural Networks
Abstract
AbstractThis article describes how classification methods on software defect prediction is widely researched due to the need to increase the software quality and decrease testing efforts. However, findings of past researches done on this issue has not shown any classifier which proves to be superior to the other. Additionally, there is a lack of research that studies the effects and accuracy of genetic programming on software defect prediction. To find solutions for this problem, a comparative software defect prediction experiment between genetic programming and neural networks are performed on four datasets from the NASA Metrics Data repository. Generally, an interesting degree of accuracy is detected, which shows how the metric-based classification is useful. Nevertheless, this article specifies that the application and usage of genetic programming is highly recommended due to the detailed analysis it provides, as well as an important feature in this classification method which allows the viewing of each attributes impact in the dataset.
