Fault Prediction Modeling for the Prediction of Number of Software Faults

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Computer Science ((BRIEFSCOMPUTER))

Abstract

Software testing is intended to find bugs/faults that can occur in the software components currently under development. Software fault prediction (SFP) helps in achieving this goal by predicting the probability of fault occurrence in the software modules before the testing phase.
