Defect proneness (or defect prediction), that is, predicting the occurrence of defects or
bugs truly remains one of the most active areas of software engineering research. Defect-
prediction results may be employed by the software practitioners of large software projects
effectively. For instance, managers may allocate testing resources appropriately, develop-
ers may review and verify defect-prone code more closely, and testers may prioritize their
testing efforts and resources on the basis of defect-proneness data (Aggarwal etal. 2005;
