| The information about which modules of a future version of a software
system are defect-prone is a valuable planning aid for quality managers
and testers. Defect prediction promises to indicate these defect-prone modules.
However, constructing effective defect prediction models in an industrial setting
involves a number of key questions. In this paper we discuss ten key questions
identified in context of establishing defect prediction in a large software
development project. Seven consecutive versions of the software system have
been used to construct and validate defect prediction models for system test
planning. Furthermore, the paper presents initial empirical results from the studied
project and, by this means, contributes answers to the identified questions. |
