Abstract

Applying software defect esimation techniques and presenting this information in a compact and impactful decision table can clearly illustrate to collaborative groups how critical this position is in the overall development cycle. The Test Risk Matrix described here has proven to be a valuable addition to the management tools and approaches used in developing large scale software on several releases. Use of this matrix in development planning meetings can clarify the attendant risks and possible consequences of carrying out or bypassing specific test activities.

    • It's a known thing. Look up "software defect estimation". The methods aren't too dissimilar to how population ecologists estimate the population of a wild animal population (you tag individuals and note the rate at which you're repeated re-tagging the same ones), the estimated…
