System and method to determine defect risks in software solutions

摘要

A method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The programming instructions are operable to receive one or more risk factors, receive one or more contexts, identify one or more context relationships and associate the one or more contexts with the one or more risk factors. Additionally, the programming instructions are operable to map the one or more risk factors for an associated context to a software defect related risk consequence to determine a risk model and execute a risk-based testing based on the risk model to determine a defect related risk evaluation for a software development project.

1. A method comprising:
determining risk factor definitions, the determining comprising: collecting risk factors that influence an injection of defects during a software development process; defining how to measure each of the collected risk factors; creating a list of risk factors from the collected risk factors; analyzing the list of risk factors; and re-factoring the list of risk factors, wherein the re-factoring the list of risk factors comprises determining, by at least one computer device, a relationship between each of the collected risk factors, wherein measuring each of the collected risk factors is performed by subdividing each of the collected risk factors, including a connection complexity factor, into sub-factors, and calculating a risk factor value for the collected risk factors from sub-factor values, the connection complexity factor being broken down into at least four orthogonal sub-factors comprising cross platform, data transformation, third-party integration and new protocol.
