How simple is software defect detection?

This study benchmarks several FSS techniques and reports several studies where a large set metrics were reduced to a handful with little loss of detection accuracy. This result raises the possibility that software defect detection may be much simpler than previously believed.

Understanding the nature of software evolution

In this paper, we analyze the measurements of structural evolution and fault counts obtained from the JPL flight software technology development effort.

Developing fault models for space mission software

Over the past several years, we have focused on developing fault models for space mission software. In general, these models use measurable attributes of a software system and its development process to estimate the number of faults inserted into the system during its development; their outputs can be used to better estimate the resources to be allocated to fault identification and removal for all system components.
