N2 - The rapidly increasing application of software contributes to the growing requirement of software quality. However, current software systems are far from being defectfree. Bugs are the root causes for various software/system failures. Although many rigorous quality assurance techniques are applied in the entire software life cycle, new bugs could be unintendedly injected during the software development process. Therefore, improving software quality by providing many practical indicators for fault prediction is significant. In this study, we performed an empirical study on 873 versions of 4 open-source projects to evaluate the degree of correlation between software structural changes and bugs. Our results could serve as a guide for software testing and development and a powerful tool for software fault prediction.
