Method, system, and product for determining defect detection efficiency

摘要

A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed in a data processing system for determining defect detection efficiency. Code development steps are tracked using a repository while code is being developed. The tracked development steps are used to determine an earliest first time when a defect could have been discovered. An actual second time when the defect was discovered is determined. The efficiency of defect detection is determined by comparing the time elapsed between the first and second times.
