Abstract
A new metric for evaluating the cost effectiveness of technical reviews is described. The proposed metric is based on the degree to which testing costs are reduced by technical reviews. The metric can be interpreted as combining two conventional metrics. Using an experimental evaluation of the conventional metrics and the proposed metric for data collected in an industrial environment, the authors show the validity and usefulness of the proposed metric. In particular, they present a method to estimate a value of the proposed metric by using only the values obtained at review phase
