Abstract: We evaluate a class of learning algorithms known as inductive logic programming (ILP) methods on the task of predicting fault occurrence in C++ classes. Using these methods, a large space of possible hypotheses is searched in an automated fashion; further, the hypotheses are based directly on an abstract logical representation of the software, rather than on manually proposed numerical metrics that predict fault density. We compare two ILP systems, FOIL and FLIPPER, and conclude that... (Update)
