Influencing factors of defect removal

Software testing is an important process for software quality control, and it is also costly and time-consuming. It can easily take 50% of development time [1]. To gain high quality software, a frequently-adopted approach is to try to minimize the number of defects in the final product, and it depends on software testing effectiveness. Many studies show that testing process is among one of the most difficult management practices. It is the last step to remove the defects before the software product to be released. But how to evaluate the quality of testing, a common way is to measure the defects detected during testing. When a defect was detected, if we can know the probability of the defect can be fixed, we can economize the limited time to fix more defects. But how we know the defect can be fixed or not before fixing. In our study, we want to find out which factors affect the defect removal.
