Software defect prevention based on human error theories

Software Defect Prevention through Orthogonal Defect

“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort” [10]. In the process of making quality software product, it is necessary to have effective defect prevention process, which will minimize the risk of making defects /errors in software deliverables. An ideal approach would involve effective software development process with an integrated defect prevention process. Thi...

Defect Prevention Based on 5 Dimensions of Defect Origin

“Discovering the unexpected is more important than confirming the known [7]. In software development, the “unexpected” one relates to defects. These defects when unattended would cause failure to the product and risk to the users. The increasing dependency of society on software and the crucial consequences that a failure can cause requires the need to find out the defects at the origin itself....

Topic-based software defect explanation

Researchers continue to propose metrics using measurable aspects of software systems to understand software quality. However, these metrics largely ignore the functionality, i.e., the conceptual concerns, of software systems. Such concerns are the technical concepts that reflect the system’s business logic. For instance, while lines of code may be a good general measure for defects, a large fil...

New Error Estimates Based on the Defect Correction Principle

Introducing a New Model for Individual Cognitive Factors Influencing Human Error Based on DEMATEL Approach

Background and Objectives: The recognition of a system failure causes and their related factors are considered as the most important factor in preventing accident occurrence in different organizations including industries. Human error is a known important factor in unpredictable events of which cognitive factors are the most influential ones. The purpose of this study was to introduce a new mod...
