The present invention provides a novel way to forecast the number of software defects for an upcoming software release. The systems and methods of the present invention involve evaluating the relative size of the upcoming software release with respect to a baseline software release, and estimating the number of expected defects based on the relative size of the upcoming software release and the number of observed software defects for the baseline release. Additional robustness may be achieved by adjusting the forecast to take into consideration regression defects that were detected in the baseline release as well as any code re-factoring. The present invention may be used in various applications such a project management system to allow a project manager to allocate sufficient resources to handle software defects, and to plan accordingly. In various embodiments, a metric is provided to measure the quality achieved after product implementation, based on the forecasted number of software defects.

A project management system is integrated with a workflow engine to provide automatic coordination of project tasks and workflow processes. The workflow engine provides support for defining logical expressions that determine a path of execution for the defined workflow tasks. In addition to composition capabilities, the workflow engine may execute and track the defined processes. The project management system provides a platform for defining the project plan that includes tasks and resources. Tasks are annotated defining their behavior and implementation and exported to the workflow system. The workflow system substitutes project tasks with the appropriate workflow activities and provides feedback upon execution of the activities.

A computer network for gathering information and reaching consensus in a multi-user collaborative environment for Process Safety Management (PSM). Comments and ideas are gathered simultaneously from team members in a meeting, using the network. Apparatus is provided for storing these inputs and retrieving them from a database, and for printing them in predefined formats. The system provides for team members to submit their ideas anonymously in a meeting so that people uncomfortable with speaking in front of a group can freely share their ideas. The system automatically records input so ideas are not lost or misrecorded. The input is converted from the first database into a format for word processing to produce the required documents, into a format for a project management system to schedule the work to complete PSM documentation, and into a format to produce flow changes to the process being analyzed.
