Abstract: Fault prediction is one of the major activity of quality assurance. Fault prediction plays a significant role in the reduction of software cost and time. Even though, there are so many prediction techniques that are available in software engineering there is a need for stable software fault prediction methodology. In this research work, four types of Machine Learning techniques such as supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement learning are discussed. According to the study, to predict the fault, a fusion of classification and reduction Machine Learning technique is necessary. This report also introduces hypothesis set for fault prediction taxonomy.
