ABSTRACT

Most of the software fault prediction studies focused on the binary classification model that predicts whether an input entity has faults or not. However the ability to predict entity fault-proneness in various severity categories is more useful because not all faults have the same severity. In this paper, we propose fault prediction models at different severity levels of faults using traditional size and complexity metrics. They are ternary classification models and use four machine learning algorithms for their training. Empirical analysis is performed using two NASA public data sets and a performance measure, accuracy. The evaluation results show that backpropagation neural network model outperforms other models on both data sets, with about 81% and 88% in terms of accuracy score respectively.
