We study the possibility of constructing decision trees with evolutionary algorithms in order to increase their predictive accuracy. We present a self-adapting evolutionary algorithm for the induction of decision trees and describe the principle of decision making based on multiple evolutionary induced decision trees -- decision forest. The developed model is used as a fault predictive approach to foresee dangerous software modules, which identification can largely enhance the reliability of software.
