Operational and usage profiles collected from customers provide developers and testers with valuable quantitative information on usage patterns of software being developed. Unfortunately, gathering such profiles from a large set of customers can be challenging due to time and resource constraints. In this paper we propose to use information about customer defects to narrow down a list of candidate customers to profile. We present a technique for selection and prioritization of minimal set of customers for operational and usage profiling to cover certain set of defects. The technique optimally selects a minimal set of customers for profiling and, once the set is identified, prioritizes the customers within the minimal set. We describe a validation case study confirming that this approach is scalable for a large customer base. Analysis results can then be used to close gaps in testing coverage and to improve the maintenance process.
