Abstract

Software defect information represents the characteristics of software processes and it can provide feedback to software quality assurance activities. The basic principle of software defect baseline is discussed, and a software quality assurance framework based on defect baseline feedback information is proposed. The relation between software activities and defect information collected through the process is studied. The statistical characteristics of defect information and it development trends along with the software process advance can reflect the effectiveness and efficiency of different quality assurance activities as feedback. Combined with practical projects, software defect metrics based on Orthogonal Defect Classification framework is built. The effectiveness and efficiency evaluation of quality assurance activities using the result of defects analysis is carried out with this quality assurance model to determine the direction of the QA improvements and help the software process integral improvement.
