摘要：軟件缺陷是軟件開發(fā)過程中的常見問題，缺陷預(yù)測旨在提高軟件品質(zhì)、減少軟件開發(fā)成本。然而，傳統(tǒng)的缺陷預(yù)測方法通?；跉v史數(shù)據(jù)的統(tǒng)計(jì)分析，無法滿足即時(shí)性需求。本文提出了一種基于機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)的即時(shí)缺陷預(yù)測方法，該方法結(jié)合了數(shù)據(jù)挖掘和軟件工程的領(lǐng)域知識(shí)，旨在對(duì)軟件中潛在的缺陷進(jìn)行預(yù)測，提高軟件的質(zhì)量和生產(chǎn)效率。首先，本文介紹了機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)算法和軟件缺陷預(yù)測相關(guān)研究現(xiàn)狀，同時(shí)探討了缺陷預(yù)測方法的特點(diǎn)和難點(diǎn)。然后，本文提出了一種基于機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)算法的軟件缺陷預(yù)測框架，該框架包括數(shù)據(jù)采集、特征提取、模型訓(xùn)練和缺陷預(yù)測等步驟。本文還從數(shù)據(jù)采集、特征選擇和模型評(píng)估三個(gè)方面，提出了針對(duì)性的解決方案。最后，本文結(jié)合實(shí)驗(yàn)數(shù)據(jù)對(duì)所提出的方法進(jìn)行了評(píng)估和驗(yàn)證，并與傳統(tǒng)的統(tǒng)計(jì)方法進(jìn)行了比較，實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果表明，該方法具有較高的預(yù)測準(zhǔn)確性和即時(shí)性。
