A Metric for Questions and Discussions Identifying Concerns in Software Reviews

Previous studies reported that reviewers ask questions and engage in discussions during software reviews the concerns identified by help detect defects. Although such about potential defects lead to finding defects, review metrics as number of detected do not always reflect because which are applicable material excluded from This paper proposes a metric, discussions, identifies reviews. First, we defined an effective question, concerns. Then, detailed processes (identifying, sharing, recording processes), capture how shared documented. We conducted case study with 25 projects industry investigate impact questions, on subsequent testing. The results multiple regression analysis show predicts testing at significance level 0.05.
