Probabilistic Study of Software Defects Underlying Relation between Pre-Release and Post-Release Defects
Dheeraj, Chhavi Rana · 2018
Components that have defects after release, but not during testing, are very undesirable as they point to `holes' in the testing process. In this work, the main objective is to provide a relation between pre-release & post-release defects. This work describes the initial effort of building analysis for defects in system testing carried out by an independent testing team. The motivation to have such correlation analysis in software defects is to serve as an early quality indicator of the software entering system testing and assist the testing team to manage and control test execution activities. Dataset is analysed with curve fitting methods & then sets are validated using correlation methods. After this, different performance parameters are calculated using probabilistic analysis tools.
