Quotations
57 ;;Quote: fault analysis of the first 13 releases of an inventory tracking system; 500,000 lines of code, mostly Java
57 ;;Quote: most bugs detected prior to beta release; 10 of 78 severity 1 faults detected after release
57 ;;Quote: assign one file per fault; if corrected by modifying n files, counts as n faults
58 ;;Quote: faults tend to concentrate in a few files; by Release 13, faults in 4% of files; partially due to file size and system growth
61 ;;Quote: larger files had lower fault densities
62 ;;Quote: in every release, as many post-release faults were in files with no late-pre-release faults as were found in files with late-pre-release faults
63 ;;Quote: moderate evidence that files with many faults in one release remain high-fault files in later releases
