(Illustrative example, not real data)

 

From the above DRE table, compute the following:

 

1.)    Effectiveness of the code inspections.  (“How good are the code inspections?”).

 

2.)    Effectiveness of unit testing  (“How good are the unit tests?”).


3.)    Requirements PCE  (“How well are requirements problems found and fixed  during the requirements inspections?”).


4.)    Given that the codesize is 30 KLOC, compute the release defect density. (“How good is the product?”).


5.)    Coding defect injection rate. (“ How frequently are mistakes made during coding?”).


6.)    The system has 6 modules, with sizes and defects found shown below.  Which of the modules do you think may need redesign / redevelopment?
