Guidelines for conducting systematic mapping studies in software engineering : An update

TL;DR: There was a need to provide an update of how to conduct systematic mapping studies and how the guidelines should be updated based on the lessons learned from the existing systematic maps and SLR guidelines.

A Systematic Literature Review on Fault Prediction Performance in Software Engineering

TL;DR: Although there are a set of fault prediction studies in which confidence is possible, more studies are needed that use a reliable methodology and which report their context, methodology, and performance comprehensively.

Using mapping studies as the basis for further research - A participant-observer case study

TL;DR: Mapping studies can save time and effort for researchers and provide baselines to assist new research efforts, however, they must be of high quality in terms of completeness and rigour if they are to be a reliable basis for follow-on research.

Software fault prediction metrics

TL;DR: Object-oriented and process metrics have been reported to be more successful in finding faults compared to traditional size and complexity metrics and seem to be better at predicting post-release faults than any static code metrics.

Researcher Bias: The Use of Machine Learning in Software Defect Prediction

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of all relevant, high quality primary studies of defect prediction to determine what factors influence predictive performance finds that the choice of classifier has little impact upon performance and the major explanatory factor is the researcher group.

A validation of object-oriented design metrics as quality indicators

TL;DR: Several of Chidamber and Kemerer's OO metrics appear to be useful to predict class fault-proneness during the early phases of the life-cycle and are better predictors than "traditional" code metrics, which can only be collected at a later phase of the software development processes.
