Identifying risk using ODC based growth models

Abstract

This paper uses the relative growth of defects, classified using Orthogonal Defect Classification to get a finer insight into dynamics of the software development process during later parts of testing. This is particularly useful to help identify management actions to better use people resources (both skill and stafing levels) to respond to dificulties ezperienced with the product in test. Specifically, the technique helps to: 0 Identify the reasons for instability in the product demonstrated by growth modellingEvaluate the relative stability of specific aspects of the product, such as design, code, etc.0 Guide the choice of resource levels and skills necessary to respond to dificulties faced in the development process.

Modelling and Analysing of Software Defect Prevention Using ODC

“…ADOPTING ODC IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ODC has its own life cycle, which we can integrate into the Iterative software development lifecycle .With this integration, we can monitor software quality status at each development phase [7]. And if we find some abnormalities in our result we Figure 1:Relation bet ween SDLC and ODC Therefore, for any given phase, defect detection measures should be taken.…”

A Comparison of the Reliability Growth of Open Source and In-House Software

“…We choose this model because it built on previous findings by Chillarege et al [3] and Chillarege and Biyani [2]. Also, the S-shaped model is often observed in real projects [19].…”

Qualitative and quantitative reliability assessment

“…From our experience 1 and that of others, 2,3 we have found that about half the failure reports generated by a supposed software failure are either unusable or, after a detailed examination, reveal problems that cannot be attributed to software. 4 Thus, data filtering is essential because accurate reliability analysis can only be conducted on filtered data.…”

“…Such statistics are commonly used by some companies. 4,5 The accumulation and analysis of information about several projects, products, and releases provides a company with better insights into its products and the impact of the development process on them.…”

“…An example of applying trend analysis to monitor the development of a realworld software product can be found elsewhere. 4 …”
