Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| Abstract- We present a case study of the use of a software process improvement method which is based on the analysis of defect data. The first step of the method is the classification of software defects using attributes which relate defects to specific process activities. Such classification captures the semantics of the defects in a fashion which is useful for process correction. The second step utilizes a machine-assisted approach to data explo-ration which allows a project team to discover such knowledge from defect data as is useful for process correction. We show that such analysis of defect data can readily lead a project team to improve their process during development. Index Terms-Date exploration, defect-based process improve-ment, in-process metrics, knowledge discovery. T I. INTRODDCTI~N | |||||||||||||||
