Abstract
To meet the requirement of an efficient software defect prediction,in this paper an evolutionary computing based neural network learning scheme has been developed that alleviates the existing Artificial Neural Network (ANN) limitations such as local minima and convergence issues. To achieve optimal software defect prediction, in this paper, Adaptive-Genetic Algorithm (A-GA) based ANN learning and weightestimation scheme has been developed. Unlike conventional GA, in this paper we have used adaptive crossover and mutation probability parameter that alleviates the issue of disruption towards optimal solution. We have used object oriented software metrics, CK metrics for fault prediction and the proposed Evolutionary Computing Based Hybrid Neural Network (HENN)algorithm has been examined for performance in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, F-measure, completeness etc, where it has performed better as compared to major existing schemes. The proposed scheme exhibited 97.99% prediction accuracy while ensuring optimal precision, Fmeasure and recall.
