Several studies, in the field of object-oriented software quality, have been performed to define models for predicting fault-prone code. However, their predictions take place after the implementation phase, using design-complexity metrics measured from the code. The primary aim of this paper is to provide the foundations for building a model, that predicts fault-prone code in the early phases of the life cycle of the software, using UML metrics. We found that some UML metrics, approximations of traditional design-complexity metrics, can bew acceptable predictors of fault-proneness, as they showed similar performance to the performance of those metrics measured from the implementation.
