Software testing are any errors, flaws, bugs, mistakes, failures in a piece of software that might cause the programme to produce incorrect or unexpected results. Testing in software almost always increase both the time and money needed to finish a project. And finding bugs and fixing them is a laborious and expensive software process in and of itself. While it's unrealistic to expect to completely eradicate all testing from a project, their severity may be mitigated. It is possible to predict where bugs may appear in software using a method known as software defect prediction (SDP). The goal of each software development project should be to provide a bug-free product. Predicting where bugs may appear in code, often known as software defect prediction (SDP), is an important part of fixing software. Software of a high calibre should have few bugs. A software metric is a quantitative or qualitative evaluation of some aspect of the programme or its requirements. One of the more recent population-based algorithms, Cuckoo Search (CS) was inspired by the flight patterns of some cuckoo species as well as the Lévy flying patterns of other birds and fruit flies. The needs for international convergence are met by CS. KNN is a significant non-parameter supervised learning technique. This paper presents an overview of Stochastic Diffusion Search (SDS) in the form of a social metaphor to illustrate the processes by which SDS allots resources. The best-fit pattern identification and matching difficulties were addressed by SDS using a novel probabilistic method. As a multiagent population-based global search and optimization method, SDS is a distributed model of computing that makes use of interaction amongst basic agents. The behaviour of SDS is described by studying its resource allocation, convergence to global optimum, resilience, minimum convergence criterion, and linear time complexity within a rigorous mathematical framework, setting it apart from many nature-inspired search algorithms. This paper proposes a hybrid optimization strategy based on CS-SDS techniques. By using the global search strategy solution of the SDS algorithm, this hybridization idea aims to enhance the cuckoo bird's search strategy for the optimum host nest. To that end, the SDS method would be used to place the cuckoo egg in the most advantageous location. When compared to other classifiers, PC2's improved performance may be attributed to its higher recall values. When compared to the Naive Bayes and Radial Bias Neural Network classifiers, the KNN performs 7.64% and 2.20% better, respectively.
