Discussion Questions and Projects

1.	Explain why small programs (less than 100 LOC) exhibit 1.5 defects per KLOC and large programs (more than 1,000 LOC) exhibit 1.5 defects per KLOC but medium-sized programs often have only 0.5 defects per KLOC.
2.	Why do Halstead's formulas fail to predict program size and hence quality upstream in the development process? How would you change his methodology to enhance its upstream use for DFTS?
3.	IBM and HP are recognized leaders in software quality. How do their customer-focused quality measures support this perception?
