Abstract

Bug prediction is aimed at identifying software artifacts that are more likely to be defective in the future. Most approaches defined so far target the prediction of bugs at class/file level. Nevertheless, past research has provided evidence that this granularity is too coarse-grained for its use in practice. As a consequence, researchers have started proposing defect prediction models targeting a finer granularity (particularly method-level granularity), providing promising evidence that it is possible to operate at this level.
