Abstract:

Software defect prediction can help developers predict defect programs in advance and allocate limited test resources reasonably. Software defect prediction accuracy depends not only on prediction methods choice but also on software metrics. Therefore, ?it has become a research hotspot to predict defects by combining?multi-metrics. Starting from the metrics, the research progress of traditional metrics, multiple metrics, and defect prediction combined with multiple metrics is introduced systematically. The main work includes：firstly, the traditional code and process metrics, the software defect prediction model based on traditional metrics and the factors that affect data quality are introduced; secondly, the semantic structure metrics are discussed; then the analysis lists the current software defect prediction evaluation indicators; finally, the future research trend of multi-metrics software defect prediction is prospected by combining prediction granularity, traditional metrics, semantic structure metrics, and cross-project software defect prediction.

Key words: multi-metrics, traditional metrics, semantic metrics, structure metrics, software defect prediction
