Assessing practitioner beliefs about software defect prediction
N. C. Shrikanth, Tim Menzies
Abstract
Just because software developers say they believe in "X", that does not necessarily mean that "X" is true. As shown here, there exist numerous beliefs listed in the recent Software Engineering literature which are only supported by small portions of the available data. Hence we ask what is the source of this disconnect between beliefs and evidence?.
