A Review on Software Defect Prediction Techniques Using Product Metrics

Presently, complexity and volume of software systems are increasing with a rapid rate. In some cases it improves performance and brings efficient outcome, but unfortunately in several situations it leads to elevated cost for testing, meaningless outcome and inferior quality, even there is no trustworthiness of the products. Fault prediction in software plays a vital role in enhancing the software excellence as well as it helps in software testing to decrease the price and time. Conventionally, to describe the difficulty and calculate the duration of the programming, software metrics can be utilized. To forecast the amount of faults in module and utilizing software metrics, an extensive investigation is performed. With the purpose of recognizing the causes which importantly enhances the fault prediction models related to product metrics, this empirical research is made. This paper visits various software metrics and suggested procedures through which software defect prediction is enhanced and also summarizes those techniques.
