A comparative analysis of soft computing techniques in software fault prediction model development

In the process of software development, software fault prediction is a useful practice to ensure reliable and high quality software products. It plays a vital role in the process of software quality assurance. A high quality software product contains minimum number of faults and failures. Software fault prediction examines the vulnerability of software product towards faults. In this paper, a comparative analysis of various soft computing approaches in terms of the process of software fault prediction is considered. In addition, an analysis of various pros and cons of soft computing techniques in terms of software fault prediction process is also mentioned. The conclusive results show that the soft computing approach has the propensity to identify faults in the process of software development. © 2018, Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of Computer Applications and Management.
