  2. Fault removal yield

    Slide 2 - Fault removal yield

    • Phase yield = removed in phase removed in phase + escapes from phase
    • Phases: design review, code, code review, compile, test
    • Phase escapes: defects injected before or during the phase, not found before or during the phase, and found later
    • The “escapes from phase” measure cannot be precisely calculated until after the program has been used in the field (need post-development defects) – need 20/20 hindsight
    • even then some failures can surface for years

    • Design Review Yield = 3/(0+6) = 50%
    • Code Review Yield= 8/(8+9) = 47%
    • Process Yield = 21/26 = 81%
    • Note: the faults show up in the “injected” column if they were analyzed and removed prior to release.
