Nature-inspired approaches in Software Fault Prediction
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Machine Learning, Nature inspired Algorithms
Abstract
In software engineering, predicting software faults is a crucial task for ensuring high software quality and reducing costs. In recent years, nature inspired approaches have been increasingly used in software fault prediction. In this paper, we explore the effectiveness of six nature inspired algorithms, namely Ant Colony, Particle Swarm Optimization, Firefly, Bat, Harris Hawks, and Genetic Algorithm, for software fault prediction. We evaluate the algorithms using three commonly used datasets, JM1, CM1, and PC1. Our experimental results show that nature inspired approaches can effectively predict software faults, with some algorithms performing better than others depending on the dataset used. Our findings suggest that these approaches have potential to be used as a practical and efficient means for software fault prediction.
