Software Defect Tracking and Prevention

This document discusses software defect tracking. It defines defect tracking as the process of finding defects in a product through inspection, testing, or customer feedback and creating new versions that fix the defects. The document notes that defect tracking is important for complex software that typically has many defects to manage over time. It also states that defect prevention aims to identify and address defects to prevent reoccurrences by generating metrics, defining corrective actions, and analyzing root causes.

What is Software Defect Tracking?


defect

tracking is the process of finding


defects in a product and making new
versions of the product that fix the
defects.
Defect

tracking can be done with the


help of inspection, testing, or recording
feedback from customers.

Importance of Software Defect Tracking


Defect tracking is important in software
engineering as complex software systems
typically have tens or hundreds or
thousands of defects: managing, evaluating
and prioritizing these defects is a difficult
task. When the numbers of defects gets
quite large, and the defects need to be
tracked over extended periods of time, use
of a defect tracking system can make the
management task much easier.

Defect Prevention
The objective of defect prevention is to
identify the defects and take corrective
action to ensure they are not repeated
over subsequent iterative cycles.
Defect prevention can be implemented
by preparing an action plan to
minimize or eliminate defects,
generating defect metrics, defining
corrective action and producing an
analysis of the root causes of the
defects.
