Notes
about SEL, the Software Engineering Laboratory
QuoteRef: weisDM2_1985 ;;Evaluating software development by analysis of changes: Some data from the software engineering laboratory.
160 ;;Quote: did not find error corrections to software causing new errors; could be result of experience or of monitoring development
161 ;;Quote: could collect and validate data on all changes concurrently with software development
161 ;;Quote: in SEL, programs written by many small changes to initial code; 40% correct errors, usually successfully
161+;;Quote: found most changes to initial code were unplanned; but did not cause new errors
161 ;;Quote: unplanned design modifications for optimization, improved services, or improved clarity and maintainability
161+;;Quote: after error corrections, unplanned design modifications were most common
161 ;;Quote: infrequent errors due to incorrect requirements, and misunderstanding of specifications, interfaces and tools
161+;;Quote: most common type of error was from the design or implementation of a single system component
161 ;;Quote: more than 75% of all changes to software took a day or less to make; large changes were infrequent
162 ;;Quote: reading code found the cause of most errors
162+;;Quote: program proofs, cross-references, attribute lists, and dumps were rarely used
162+;;Quote: most errors were detected by executing a program
