An Empirical Comparison of Fault-Prone Module Detection Approaches: Complexity Metrics and Text Feature Metrics

In order to assure the quality of software product, early detection of fault-prone products is necessary. Fault-prone module detection is one of the major and traditional area of software engineering. However, comparative study using the fair environment rarely conducted so far because there is little data publicly available. This paper tries to conduct a comparative study of fault-prone module detection approaches.
