Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Comment statements are useful elements for enhancing the readability of program. However, sometimes comments are used to adjust lacks of readability of complicated code fragments, so many comments are not always
recommended. Actually, there have been some reports saying that the program having more comments are more fault-prone. This paper focuses on the change in the amount of comments thorough version upgrades, and performs an empirical analysis of fault-proneness in the source files whose comments are growing, using four major open source software. The empirical results showed that the source files whose comments are strongly growing are about
double fault-prone than the others.
