Summary: In software development, comprehensive software reviews and testings are important activities to preserve high quality and to control maintenance cost. However it would be actually difficult to perform comprehensive software reviews and testings because of a lot of components, a lack of manpower and other realistic restrictions. To improve performances of reviews and testings in object-oriented software, this paper proposes a novel model for detecting cost-prone classes; the model is based on Mahalanobis-Taguchi method--an extended statistical discriminant method merging with a pattern recognition approach. Experimental results using a lot of Java software are provided to statistically demonstrate that the proposed model has a high ability for detecting cost-prone classes. | ||||||||||
