Seminario:

Software Metrics and Metrics-based Defect Prediction

01 febbraio 2011, DIEE - via Is Maglias, sala riunioni h. 10:30-12:30

Abstract:
Modern software systems are getting more and more complex. Meanwhile, 
the demands for higher software quality are also increasing. However, 
software quality assurance is a resource and time-consuming task. 
Knowing which software modules are more likely to be defective can 
help us allocate limited time and resources effectively. In recent 
years, research on software defect prediction has drawn the attention 
of many researchers in software engineering filed. Prediction models 
are built based on historical defect data and metric data. In this 
talk, advances in software metrics and metrics-based defect prediction 
will be presented.
