Defect Density Prediction with Six Sigma
نویسنده
چکیده
Can we predict defect density in advance for software that’s going into production? – The answer is “yes”, if you apply statistical methods to requirements and run measurement programs for functional size and defect cost. The Six Sigma toolbox provides statistical methods for building such prediction models. This paper explains the basics of these statistical methods without going into the details of Design for Six Sigma (DfSS) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD).
