Thank you very much for your response. By "field defect" I mean a bug in the Bug Database.
I was wondering if you think predictions at the time of release of the number of field defects in each month after release can help: -allocate resources, such as having enough people available to fix problems -adjust the deployment date, like pushing back the release, or -identify possible ways of improving the process, assuming that the predictions are made using software metrics, such as the number of changes to the code Thanks Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Martin Gainty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 9:38 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: What would you do with field defect rate predictions? > > Good Morning Paul- > > from what I see I would interpret a greater initial defect rate with open > source offerings vs commercial (OS) > but the attenuation over time brings the OpenSource defect rates almost > equivalent to their commercial counterpart(s) > Is this correct? > BTW: > This is a great tool to have to understand in a visual sense what happens > with defects of commercial offerings vs OpenSource counterpart over time > > Thanks, > Martin -- > This e-mail communication and any attachments may contain confidential and > privileged information for the use of the > designated recipients named above.
