Several techniques have been developed to identify and fix defects in software before its deployment. However, the challenge is to quantify how well these techniques prevent defects from occurring in the field from a holistic perspective. Therefore, we propose a novel software quality metric called "The Preventability Metric" that measures the preventability of defects in software. The metric is derived from a composite quantitative evaluation of the efficiency and effectiveness of the individual preventive techniques employed on software before its deployment. It provides a confidence on how well prevention of defects is handled before deployment.
