Abstract
Software Defect Prediction is a process of identifying the potential defects in software systems before they occur. In this approach, the dataset containing information about software attributes is used as input, and the output is the prediction of whether the software is defective or not. The input dataset is generally in the form of a CSV file, which contains various software attributes such as cyclomatic complexity, essential complexity, Design Complexity, etc. The output of the defect prediction is binary classification. It is done by using SVM (Support Vector Machine) and a decision tree algorithm. This approach can help software developers identify their systems' defects before they cause any harm or affect the system’s performance.
