Detecting faults in the initial stage of the development process has become an important prospect for the codes cost estimation; so a fault predictor model is very much necessary in order to bring down the cost of development and maintenance. Due to these reasons, developing models for fault prediction has become a crucial part of research, and various techniques have been adapted in order to predict faults in a software. Few of them include Artificial Neural Network, Decision Tree, Genetic Algorithm, etc. Among these techniques, Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms have become a growing concern over the years and are being applied in various fields such as optimization, prediction or classification. These techniques make use of various software metrics to assess the characteristic of any software system such as number of faults, maintenance of class, etc. Most commonly used are Chidamber and Kemerer (CK) metrics which are found to be efficient from many researches.
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 3 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
