Boehm and Basili 2001) described the start-of-the art in defect reduction.Since then, there has been considerable research into data mining of defect data; e.g.Menzies et al. (2007).The data mining work has become less about defect reduction, and more about how to organize a project's test resources in order to improve product quality by (say) defining a procedure such that the modules most likely to contain defects are inspected first (Menzies et al. 2010).After a decade of intensive work into data mining to make best use of testing resources, it is time to ask: what have we learned from all that research?Some of that research offers success stories with (e.g.)
