Σύνοψη	Code coverage analysis measures the extent to which source code is executed by a test suite, quantifying which lines, branches, or paths are exercised. Tools instrument code to track execution, reporting coverage percentages and identifying untested regions. Coverage analysis guides test creation, detects dead code, and validates test adequacy in quality assurance processes.	Defect prediction models forecast the likelihood of software faults in code modules using statistical or machine learning approaches. Pioneered by Ostrand, Weyuker, and Bell (2005), these models correlate code metrics (complexity, churn, coupling) with historical defect data to identify high-risk components. Organizations use predictions to allocate testing resources, guide code review, and prioritize refactoring.
