Society relies on telecommunications to such an extent 
that telecommunications software must have high reliability.
Neural network models can be used to identify 
fault-prone modules for extra attention early in development,
and thus reduce the risk
of unexpected problems with those modules.
This paper is an experience report on a model
of a large telecommunications system
with almost 7,000 changed modules,
consisting of over 7 million lines of code in procedures.
We developed a neural network model to identify
fault-prone modules based on nine design product metrics.
Misclassification of not fault-prone modules would incur 
only modest cost in terms of extra attention to those modules.
Misclassification of fault-prone modules would risk unexpected
problems late in the development or even after release.
Changed modules were randomly divided into a fit data set
and a validate data set.  We simulated utilization of the
fitted model with the validate data set.

   {
This is an experience report on identifying fault-prone modules
in a subsystem of the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar
System, jstars, a large tactical military system. The project
followed the spiral life cycle model. The iterations of the
system were developed in fortran about one year apart. We
developed a discriminant analysis model using software metrics
from one iteration to predict whether or not each module in
the next would be considered fault-prone.

Tactical military software is required to have high reliability.
Each software function is often considered mission-critical,
and the lives of military personnel often depend on mission
success. In our project, each iteration of a spiral life cycle
development produced a system that was suitable for operational
testing. A risk analysis based on operational testing guided
development of the next iteration. Identifying fault-prone
modules early in the development of an iteration can lead to
better reliability.

The results confirm previously published studies that discriminant
analysis can be a useful tool in identification of fault-prone
software modules. This study used consecutive iterations, first,
to build, and then, to evaluate the model. This model validation
approach is more realistic than earlier studies which split
data from one project to simulate two iterations. Model results
could be used to identify those modules that would probably
benefit from extra reviews and testing, and thus, reduce the
risk of unexpected problems with those modules.

   {
Society's reliance on large complex telecommunications systems
mandates high reliability.
Controlling faults in software
requires that one can predict problems
early enough  to take preventive action.
Software metrics are the basis for such predictions,
and thus, many organization are collecting volumes of
software metric data.
Collecting software metrics is not enough.
One must translate measurements into predictions.

This study systematically presents a methodology
for developing models that predict software quality factors.
The individual details  of this methodology may be familiar,
but the whole modeling process must be integrated to produce
successful predictions of software quality.
We use two example studies to illustrate each step.
One predicted the number of faults
to be discovered in each module,
and the other predicted whether each module would be
considered {\em fault-prone}.
The examples were based on the same data set,
consisting of a sample from  very
large telecommunications system.
The sample of modules represented about 1.3 million lines of code.
