Background: The main goal of the PROMISE repository is to enable reproducible, and thus verifiable or refutable research. Over time, plenty of data sets became available, especial...
Defect density and defect prediction are essential for efficient resource allocation in software evolution. In an empirical study we applied data mining techniques for value seri...
Much of software engineering is targeted towards identifying and removing existing defects while preventing the injection of new ones. Defect management is therefore one important ...
In assessing the quality of software, we would like to make engineering judgements similar to those based on statistical quality control. Ideally, we want to support statements li...
—Changing source code in large software systems is complex and requires a good understanding of dependencies between software components. Modification to components with little ...
