PREDICTION OF SOFTWARE DEFECTS USING OBJECT-ORIENTED METRICS

In recent years, many of the object-oriented software metrics were proposed for increasing the quality of software design such as prediction of defects and the maintainability of classes and methods. As the word metrics is frequently used for specific measurements taken on a particular process or item and in object-oriented metrics the metrics are the unit of measurements that is used to characterize the data.The fundamental point of this research is to identify the significance difference between software metrics which observes defect prediction and also study about their relation involving in the object oriented metrics that is named as “Chidamber and Kemerer metric suite” which is also known as “CK metrics suite”, the number of defects and then finally decide the differences of the metrics in ordering to Eclipse classes as defective and selected with regard to defect prediction.
