Abstract
Enhanced Measurement for Early Risk Assessment of Latent Defects (EMERALD) is a decision support system for assessing reliability risk. It is used by software developers and managers to improve telecommunications software service quality as perceived by the customer and the end user. Risk models are based on static characteristics of source code. This paper shows how a system such as EMERALD can enhance software development, testing, and maintenance by integration of: a software quality improvement strategy; measurements and models; and delivery of results to the desktop of developers in a timely manner. This paper also summarizes empirical experiments with EMERALD's models using data from large industrial telecommunications software systems. EMERALD has been applied to a very large system with over 12 million lines of source code within procedures. Experience and lessons learned are also discussed.
