Count models for software quality estimation

Summary:
The primary aim of software engineering is to produce quality software that is delivered on time, within budget, and fulfils all its requirements. A timely estimation of software quality can serve as a prerequisite in achieving high reliability of software-based systems. More specifically, software quality assurance efforts can be prioritized for targeting program modules that are most likely to have a high number of faults. Software quality estimation models are generally of two types: a classification model that predicts the class membership of modules into two or more quality-based classes, and a quantitative prediction model that estimates the number of faults (or some other software quality factor) that are likely to occur in software modules. In the literature, a variety of techniques have been developed for software quality estimation, most of which are suited for either prediction or classification but not for both, e.g., the multiple linear regression (only for prediction) and logistic regression (only for classification).
