Abstrakt: Many quality improvement activities can be guided by defect analysis. Development defect analysis of software components can be used to guide testing with the goal of focusing on parts of the software that were fault-prone during development. We perform a case study using defect data from a large software product (medical record system). In this study, development defect data help to identify which parts of the software might profit from being tested more and earlier because they were fault-prone during development. Several testing guidelines are proposed to make system test more effective and more efficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
