Defect Density: A Review of the Calculation Based on System Size

Authors Info & Claims
Published:04 January 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

This study is focusing on measurement of defect density found during the testing phase which is currently conducted in organization X in Malaysia. The issue with defect density is the measurement tends to be imprecise because of the various ways used to count the line of codes. Organization X use Measurement and Analysis Process to calculate the measurement process of defect density. The Measurement and Analysis Process consist of three phases, which are Planning, Implementing, and Improving phase. iProcurement-Vendor Management Line of code is one of the selected three projects. The Line of code for the projects has been counted using GeroneSoft Code Counter Pro VI.3.2. The result of the study could be useful to detect defects earlier in a program and action could be taken to minimize any faults.
