Defect Origin (J) Phase Requirement Analysis Design Coding Unit Testing

1. The document analyzes defect rates and removal effectiveness across different phases of a software project with 50K lines of code. 2. It finds that integration testing had the highest defect removal rate at 82.09% and was the most effective phase at removing defects. 3. The overall defect removal effectiveness across all phases was calculated to be 96.64%, indicating that reviews and inspections were likely effective in finding and fixing defects before release.

Formula 1 used for front end phases

Defects removed at each step * 100%


defects on step entry + defects injected in the step

Formula 2 used for back end phases

Defects removed at current phase * 100%


defects removed on current step + subsequest step

Formula used
