A Critique of Software Defect Prediction Models

by Norman E. Fenton, Martin Neil - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING , 1999
"... Many organizations want to predict the number of defects (faults) in software systems, before they are deployed, to gauge the likely delivered quality and maintenance effort. To help in this numerous software metrics and statistical models have been developed, with a correspondingly large literatur ..."

Software Defect Prediction Models for Quality Improvement: A Literature Study

by Mrinal Singh Rawat, Sanjay Kumar Dubey
"... In spite of meticulous planning, well documentation and proper process control during software development, occurrences of certain defects are inevitable. These software defects may lead to degradation of the quality which might be the underlying cause of failure. In today‟s cutting edge competition ..."

on how the various defect prediction models are implemented resulting in reduced magnitude of defects.

AN EFFICIENT SOFTWARE DEFECT PREDICTION MODEL USING OPTIMIZED TABU SEARCH BRANCH AND BOUND PROCEDURE

by Pandiyan G , P Krishnakumari
"... ABSTRACT Software fault localization is considered to be one of the most tedious procedures that involves larger amount of time during the debugging of program. With this, there arises an increasing desire for software fault localization to be practiced with minimum amount of human intervention. Th ..."

of heuristics faults while performing software component testing. Finally, high automatic fault localization demand led to the proposal and development of software functionality on predicting the faults at an earlier stage with minimal prediction time. To overcome the defect on software fault localization, Tabu

Model checking and abstraction

by Peter J. Clarke, Djuradj Babich, Tariq M. King, B. M. Golam Kibria - ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems , 1994
"... software developers are using the Java language as the language of choice on many applications. This is due to the effective use of the object-oriented (OO) paradigm to develop large software projects and the ability of the Java language to support the increasing use of web technologies in business ..."

written in Java 1.4.x and Java 1.5.x to identify the distribution of groups used by developers. We use the data from the study to create prediction models that would allow developers to estimate the number of different groups of classes, fields and methods that are expected to be generated for large Java

Bandera: Extracting Finite-state Models from Java Source Code

by James C. Corbett, Matthew B. Dwyer, John Hatcliff, Shawn Laubach, Corina S. Pasareanu, Hongjun Zheng - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 22ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING , 2000
"... Finite-state verification techniques, such as model checking, have shown promise as a cost-effective means for finding defects in hardware designs. To date, the application of these techniques to software has been hindered by several obstacles. Chief among these is the problem of constructing a fini ..."

The SLAM project: debugging system software via static analysis

by Thomas Ball, Sriram K. Rajamani - SIGPLAN Not
"... Abstract. The goal of the SLAM project is to check whether or not a program obeys "API usage rules " that specif[y what it means to be a good client of an API. The SLAM toolkit statically analyzes a C program to determine whether or not it violates given usage rules. The toolkit has two un ..."

unique aspects: it does not require the programmer to annotate the source program (invariants are inferred); it minimizes noise (false error messages) through a process known as "counterexample-driven refinement". SLAM exploits and extends results fi'om program analysis, model checking

Cognitive Radio: Brain-Empowered Wireless Communications

by Simon Haykin , 2005
"... Cognitive radio is viewed as a novel approach for improving the utilization of a precious natural resource: the radio electromagnetic spectrum. The cognitive radio, built on a software-defined radio, is defined as an intelligent wireless communication system that is aware of its environment and use ..."

the discussion of interference temperature as a new metric for the quantification and management of interference, the paper addresses three fundamental cognitive tasks. 1) Radio-scene analysis. 2) Channel-state estimation and predictive modeling. 3) Transmit-power control and dynamic spectrum management

ANALYSIS OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR HABITAT MONITORING

by Joseph Polastre, Robert Szewczyk, Alan Mainwaring, David Culler, John Anderson , 2004
"... We provide an in-depth study of applying wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to real-world habitat monitoring. A set of system design requirements were developed that cover the hardware design of the nodes, the sensor network software, protective enclosures, and system architecture to meet the require ..."

data is also useful for predicting system operation and network failures. Based on over one million 2 Polastre et. al. data readings, we analyze the node and network design and develop network reliability profiles and failure models.

Using simulation methods for Bayesian econometric models: Inference, development and communication

by John Geweke - Econometric Review , 1999
"... This paper surveys the fundamental principles of subjective Bayesian inference in econometrics and the implementation of those principles using posterior simulation methods. The emphasis is on the combination of models and the development of predictive distributions. Moving beyond conditioning on a ..."
