Benefits of technology
[0005]Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for predicting software product quality. Real-time and historic software code metrics for a software product, real-time and historic software code defect data for the software product, and real-timer and historic test case-related data for the software product are received. A feature predicted fallibility is calculated that estimates the number of code defects for a new feature of the software product, based on the received real-time and historic software code metrics for a software product, and the received real-time and historic software code defect data for the software product. A product version projected fallibility is calculated that estimates the number of code defects for a new version of a software product, based on an average of all calculated feature predicted fallibilities for all new features of the new version of the software product. A test case related quality coefficient is calculated that estimates the likelihood of discover

Embodiment Construction
[0013]Embodiments of the invention are general directed to a predictive failure product quality system for quantifying product, feature, and module quality and for providing projections and predictions of defect density and number of code defects, based on predictive models that analyze trends, patterns, and information from current and historical error reporting and other development-related data including test case-related information. Certain embodiments may be integrated into product lifecycle / change management tools and integrated development environments (IDEs).
[0014]Advantageously, the models perform automated analysis of the current and historical data, and do not rely on manual review and analysis of the data. As such, estimates and predictions of product and feature quality and defect density and number of code defects may be generated at any time during software product development and testing.
[0015]As new data is generated regarding errors encountered during product deve...

Predicting software product quality. Real-time and historic software code metrics, software code defect data for the software product, and test case-related data for the software product are received. A feature predicted fallibility that estimates the number of code defects for a new feature of the software product, a product version projected fallibility that estimates the number of code defects for a new version of a software product, a test case related quality coefficient that estimates the likelihood of discovery of code defects in a new feature, a feature quality and a product quality indexes that are qualitative indications of quality of the new code of a feature and the new product version, are calculated. A report is then output that includes at least the calculated values, whereby developer resources are directed to features of the software product for which the calculated values indicate likelihoods of a high defect densities.
Description
BACKGROUND[0001]The present invention relates generally to the field of software quality and more particularly to predicting the quality of a software product under development.[0002]A part of the software product development process may be to improve current product functionality and to introduce new product functionality through the release of new versions of the software. When introducing new releases of the product, an important development goal may be to ensure that quality is not compromised. Quantifying product quality is often challenging.[0003]Product quality assessment of a new product release is often based on a comparison and analysis of customer reported code errors and problems in the new release to error data from previous versions. This post-mortem analysis is often performed manually by reviewing the historical data of code errors, which product features are affected, and in which product release. When this manual analysis reveals a pattern of product failures, the ...
