This book is a collection of taxonomy and review of contemporary model in the field of software development and maintenance. This book is basically the result of our passion toward the research of application of software engineering concepts. This work is derived from the need for accurate fault estimation in goals of quality programming and minimal maintenance overheads. State of art technologies have been discussed with respective experimental investigations and analysis. This work started out as a survey and then evolved according to our interest and proclivity into a work that emphasizes the aspects of software development. This book is intended to explain how the defect predictions are used to improve the quality of software development for easy analysis in a very simple way. It contains research that is useful to research scholars, engineers, and computing researchers.
