Treffer: Object Oriented-Based Metrics to Predict Fault Proneness in Software Design

In object-oriented software design, various metrics predict software systems' fault proneness. Fault predictions can considerably improve the quality of the development process and the software product. In this paper, we look at the relationship between object-oriented software metrics and their implications on fault proneness. Such relationships can help determine metrics that help determine software faults. Studies indicate that object-oriented metrics are indeed a good predictor of software fault proneness, however, there are some differences among existing work as to which metric is most apt for predicting software faults.
