Abstract

©1981 ACM.. An earlier paper presented a model based on software science metrics to give quantititive estimate of the number of bugs in a programming project at the time validation of the project begins. In this paper, we report the results from an attempt to expand the model to estimate the total number of bugs to expect during the total project development. ~his new hypothesis has been tested usingthe data currently available in the literature along with data from student projects. The model fits the published data reasonabley well, however, the results obtained using the student data are not conclusive.
