Defect density is normally calculated as defects/Size where size can be FP/KLOC. FP though accepted worldwide as a robust model, adaptation from mid sized organizations has not been great due to the lack of expertise on FP and also the granularity of requirements that is expected but is seldom given when the project is taken up offshore. There are some inabilities in using KLOC again esp considering the high level languagues and the Integrated Development Environments(IDE) that has come into use in the Application development arena as opposed to legacy code where the code was contiguous and the counting of kloc more manageable. What can be the alternative for sizing in such cases and how can defect density be calculated? Does KLOC hold good in such cases? Saving Changes...
