Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project revealed that training data for quality effort estimation can be organized even with far past project data. Also, it was found that cross-project defect prediction approaches were effective for cross-version defect prediction. An empirical experiment shows a useful effort estimation strategy where training data have different characteristics from a target organization.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

開発プロジェクトが少なくデータがすぐ古びてしまう組織でも過去プロジェクトデータを利用して一定の精度で工数を見積もることが可能という実務における新たな知見となる。また、新しいアプリケーション分野に参入した時に他組織のデータで工数見積りを必要とする開発組織にとって有用な知見をもたらした。不具合モジュール予測についての知見は、継続的にソフトウェアを開発する組織における不具合発見の効率化に役立つ。
