Abstract

Just-in-time software defect prediction technology enables just-in-time defect prediction at the granularity of code changes, which is crucial for improving software code quality and ensuring software reliability. Traditional static software defect prediction models suffer from 'knowledge forgetting' when processing just-in-time software data streams, leading to poor model generalization performance. To address this, this paper proposes an incremental model method based on knowledge replay for just-in-time software defect prediction. Firstly, the knowledge replay mechanism stores model parameters and random samples to facilitate the learning of old knowledge. Secondly, this paper uses a distributed training framework to perform incremental learning on just-in-time software data streams on local devices, achieving real-time model updates through restructuring. Lastly, this paper employs the knowledge distillation technique to construct a global incremental prediction model. Experiments show that this model performs better in terms of comprehensive performance compared to common modeling algorithms while ensuring training efficiency.
