Title
A Leading Indicator of Post-Release Defect Density in Refactoring-based Software Maintenance - A Case Study.
Abstract
We look to create a leading indicator to relate, between two consecutive releases of a software product, the changes in post-release defect density to the changes of the internal factors identified as interrelated to refactoring. In the case study that involves a maintenance phase to bring the post-release defect densities of two suites of tools down to within the organization's upper limit, the proposed leading indicator correctly generated the desired negative correlation with the trend of changes in post-release defect density.
