Keeping software modules with no fault is almost impossible in a
real software development. For that reason, it is important in
software development to find and fix faults as early as possible.
To do so, many studies have been done to analyze the relationship
between the faults and software metrics.
In this study, our hypothesis is that the age of software modules affects on
the quality of software. To confirm this, we propose metrics that
can be easily measured from the revision history. We also conducted
an experiment to collect these metrics from several open source
software projects, and analyze relevance to fault existence. We can
successfully model the relevance between the age of modules and the
rate of fault existence.
