  5. 3. Early and Cost-Effective Software Fault Detection : Measurement and Implementation in an Industrial Setting

    Author : Lars-Ola Damm; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; software; faults; defects; early fault detection; software process improvement;

    Abstract : Avoidable rework consumes a large part of development projects, i.e. 20-80 percent depending on the maturity of the organization and the complexity of the products. High amounts of avoidable rework commonly occur when having many faults left to correct in late stages of a project. READ MORE
