In the software development, defects affect quality and cost in an
adverse way. Therefore, various studies have been proposed defect
prediction techniques. Most of current defect prediction approaches
use past project data for building prediction models. That is,
these approaches are difficult to apply new development projects
without past data. In this study, we use 28 versions of 8 projects
to conduct experiments using the fault-prone filtering technique.
Fault-prone filtering is a method that predicts faults using tokens
from source code modules. Since the classes of tokens have impact to
the accuracy of fault-proneness, we conduct an experiment to find
appropriate token sets for prediction. From the results of
experiments, we found that using tokens extracted from all parts of
modules is the best way to predict faults and using tokens extracted
from code part of modules shows better precision.
