Abstract :
A model of a typical fault removal process used in software development is defined, and a set of in-process fault density metrics is outlined. Fault densities based on the number of errors found at each of the verification stages are used as metrics to track and help manage the quality of the developing software. Such a model could be used on any large software development project
