Abstract

Software Defect Prediction (SDP) is an important aspect of enhancing software quality by determining early on in the development lifecycle the modules that are likely to be error prone. Complex machine learning methods fail to provide hidden nonlinear relationships within complex software measures. Our study has suggested a hybrid deep learning system with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks as a viable solution to software defect prediction to overcome this limitation. The data of 10,885 modules in 21 features were used to train the model on a real-world software measure dataset. The proposed CNN-LSTM architecture, following the preparation and optimization of the model, reached the test accuracy threshold of ${7 5. 1 5 \%}$, which further improved to ${8 1. 3 0 \%}$ with the addition of threshold optimization. These findings prove that the hybrid deep learning model is effective at capturing both local patterns and sequence dependencies in software metrics which substantially improves the prediction performance. The suggested solution offers an effective and dependable solution to software quality assurance and can assist developers in prioritizing testing and minimizing defects within large software systems.
