An Experiment in Software Error Occurrence and Detection.

Abstract

The occurrence and detection of software errors was studied in four software projects. Errors were analyzed with respect to complexity measures of individual subroutines. This paper also provides definitions of error categories and types. The detailed documentation of the software production effort allowed both a qualitative and quantitative analysis of software errors with respect to error types. (Author)
