Abstract(in English) Code review is one of the ways to improve the quality of programs. Code reviews cannot point out all faults, but if reviewers can reduce the missing of point out, the quality of the system will improve. In our research, we aim to support the review of programs by reviewers and to point out defects that reviewers cannot point out. In order to support code review, the results of supervised learning are used to infer possible faults in the program. Supervised learning transforms the program into an image and learns the faults in the program. We used the results of our reasoning about the likelihood of faults to create a list for support of code review. We conducted an experiment to verify that the number and type of faults that can be pointed out increases when reviewers refer to the list and perform code reviews. In the experiment, we conducted reviews with and without the list, and compared and verified the results of the reviews. As a result of the experiment, some of the program faults that reviewers pointed out in the code review using the list increased in type and number.
