Software Defect Taxonomy, Analysis and Overview

In this paper an overall analysis of current defect taxonomies is presented also plans for well defined process based taxonomy is carefully created using the existing models. The existing software defect taxonomies do not focus fully on the process, in most cases process and product are studied in parallel and significant amount of time is spent to identify and debug the defects or prevent them from occurring again. Our study is focused on the defects found based on the process in which they are found and selected based on the largest potential impact on the final product that will have significant impact in defect prevention.
