Can you explain how the number of defects is measured? Ans. The number of defects is one of the measures used to measure test effectiveness. One of the side effects of the number of defects is that all bugs are not equal. So it becomes necessary to weight bugs according to their criticality level. If we are using the number of defects as the metric measurement the following are the issues: The number of bugs that originally existed significantly impacts the number of bugs discovered, which in turns gives a wrong measure of the software quality. All defects are not equal so defects should be numbered with a criticality level to get the right software quality measure.
