An Integrated Approach to Measurement Software Defect using Software Matrices

Software measurement is a quantified attribute of a characteristic of a software product or the software process. It is a discipline within software engineering. Measurement programs in software organizations are an important source of control over quality, defects evaluation and cost in software development. Software measurement has evolved into a key software engineering discipline. It introduces the concept of software measurement and its broad application areas. An effective measurement process requires continuous evaluation of different software metrics and integrating them into the software development process. This paper presents our approach analyses the metrics results using a number of statistical techniques. Interesting relationships between system size and the calculated metrics are explored. A software quality estimation model allows the software development team to track and detect potential software defects relatively early on during development. Recovering design patterns based on matrices and weights. Software metrics evaluation and analysis application and provides metrics results by applying Chidamber & Kemerer and MOOD metrics. A software metrics database can serve this purpose. Keywords— defects, design patterns, matrices, measurement, estimation.
