Identification and location of defects in software projects is an important task to improve software quality and to reduce software test effort estimation cost. In software fault prediction domain, it is known that 20% of the modules will in general contain about 80% of the faults. In order to minimize cost and effort, it is considerably important to identify those most error prone modules precisely and correct them in time. Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are frequently used to locate error prone modules automatically. Furthermore, the performance of the algorithms is closely related to determine the most valuable software metrics. The aim of this research is to develop a Majority Vote based Feature Selection algorithm (MVFS) to identify the most valuable software metrics. The core idea of the method is to identify the most influential software metrics with the collaboration of various feature rankers. To test the efficiency of the proposed method, we used CM1, JM1, KC1, PC1, Eclipse Equinox, Eclipse JDT datasets and J48, NB, K-NN (IBk) ML algorithms. The experiments show that the proposed method is able to find out the most significant software metrics that enhances defect prediction performance.
