defect density = Total number of  defects/LOC

Here the Total number of defects include the defects from Review and from the customer also

Defect density  =      Total number of defects

                                                            Size of the project

 

Size of Project can be Function points, feature points,use cases, KLOC etc

Defect Density can be calculated by the below formula

Defect Density = Total no of defects / Total no of test Cases

  Was this answer useful?  Yes

Defect density is nothing but number of defects for particular size of code.
We will determine the defect density using metrics and measurements in our
environments
The Measure Defect-Density (DD) Measures the number of defects in a particular
size of code. it is measured as follows:
LOC (Lines of Code),
Defects: number of defects in the code;
DD = Defects/(K)LOC

Overall Defect Density = Total number of Defects / Total Size of the Project
Phase wise Defect Density = Total number of Defects attributed to the particular stage / Actual effort of the Particular phase.

Defect density is the ratio of number of defects found in a component or system divided by the size of the component or system (in terms of function points, number of classes, number of lines of code).

Defect Density

Model: Defect density is a measure of the total known defects divided by the size of the
software entity being measured.

Defect Density= Number of Known Defects/Size

The Number of Known Defects is the count of total defects identified against a particular
software entity, during a particular time period. Examples include:
· defect to date since the creation of module
· defects found in a program during an inspection
· defects to date since the shipment of a release to the customer
Size is a normalizer that allows comparisons between different software entities (i.e.,
modules, releases, products). Size is typically counted either in Lines of Code or Function
Points.

Defect density is a project metrics to find out the number of defects per linos of code that programmer has written. This is an improvment process to efficiently improve the developer
