Software defects prediction research is converging on the use of function point elements for software defect predictions. Studies on the nature and behavior of the function point elements are expanding. Previous studies have analyzed the correlation between the function point elements. This paper presents correlation analysis between function point elements and the software defects. It is observed that external input count and external inquiry count function point elements show some correlation with software defects. Different data subsets were analyzed, where 4GL projects shows strong correlation with defects over 3GL and ApG/other projects, while enhancement software projects show more correlation with defects over new software projects.
