Abstract
The author uses neural networks to estimate how many defects are hidden in a software document. Input for the models are metrics that get collected when effecting a standard quality assurance technique on the document, a software inspection. For inspections, the empirical data sets typically are small. The author identifies two key ingredients for a successful application of neural networks to small data sets: Adapting the size, complexity, and input dimension of the networks to the amount of information available for training; and using Bayesian techniques instead of cross-validation for determining model parameters and selecting the final model. For inspections, the machine learning approach is highly successful and outperforms the previously existing defect estimation methods in software engineering by a factor of 4 in accuracy on the standard benchmark. The author’s approach is well applicable in other contexts that are subject to small training data sets.
