At SoftRel, LLC, we develop models to predict escaped software defects/failures.

• Number of software defects in a computer program
• Software failure rate, MTTF, MTTCF, availability and reliability
• Defect density during and after testing
• Practices that are/have been employed to reduce delivered software defects.
• Cost of reducing delivered software defects to a desired level
• Time required to reduce delivered defects to a desired level
• Probability of a late software delivery

We have correlated more then 600 software development practices and characteristics to delivered defects and defect density AND to the probability of delivering software late.  

The result is a model to predict defects in software - before the software is developed or tested.  This model can also be used to determine the potential software process improvement areas to reduce software defects with the biggest payoff.
