Abstract

The paper presents a method proposal of how to use product measures and defect data to enable understanding and identification of design and programming constructs that contribute more than expected to the defect statistics. The paper describes a method that can be used to identify the most defect-prone design and programming constructs and the method proposal is illustrated on data collected from a large software project in the telecommunication domain. The example indicates that it is feasible, based on defect data and product measures, to identify the main sources of defects in terms of design and programming constructs. Potential actions to be taken include less usage of particular design and programming constructs, additional resources for verification of the constructs and further education into how to use the constructs.
了解软件缺陷的来源:一种过滤方法
本文提出了一种方法建议,说明如何使用产品度量和缺陷数据来理解和识别设计和编程构造,这些构造对缺陷统计的贡献大于预期。本文描述了一种可用于识别最容易出现缺陷的设计和编程结构的方法,并以从电信领域的一个大型软件项目中收集的数据为例说明了该方法的建议。该实例表明,基于缺陷数据和产品度量,根据设计和编程构造识别缺陷的主要来源是可行的。可能采取的行动包括减少对特定设计和编程结构的使用,增加用于验证结构的资源,以及进一步教育如何使用这些结构。
