Deriving thresholds of software metrics to predict faults on open source software: Replicated case studies

作者:

Highlights:

• We empirically examined if there are effective thresholds for software metrics.

• Open-source software systems were used as benchmarking datasets.

• The learner model was created using logistic regression and the Bender method.

• Experimental results revealed that some metrics have effective threshold values.
