Abstract

In order to improvethe efficiency of inspections, quantitative data on defect contenthave to be the basis for decisions in the inspection process.An experience-based capture-recapture method is proposed, whichovercomes some problems with the basic pre-requisites of theoriginal method. A C-code inspection experiment is conductedto evaluate the enhanced method and its applicability to softwarecode inspections. It is concluded that the experience-based estimationprocedure gives significantly better estimates than the maximum-likelihoodmethod and the estimates are not very sensitive to changes inthe inspection data.
