The State-of-the-Art in Software Error Data Collection and Analysis.

Abstract

Part of a comprehensive research program directed toward improving software reliability, this review of the state of the art in software error data collection and analysis describes the efforts of government agencies, educational institutions and private companies to collect and analyze software data. The author points out significant shortcomings in all present approaches to data collection which make the results of other organizations of marginal value to Army information system development programs. A proposed Army research program outlines a system of error data collection and analysis which the author believes will prove valuable in the effort to improve the quality of delivered software.
