  • Method and system for software defect management
    Patent number: 8151248
    Abstract: A computer readable medium implementing a method for managing software defects is provided. The method comprises capturing a plurality of test cases into a test case database, a plurality of software defects into a software defect record database, and a plurality of change requests into a change request database. The method also comprises managing one of test-identifiable defects using one of the plurality of test cases, one of the plurality of defect records, and one of the plurality of change requests in a first specified order. The method additionally comprises managing one of defects not-identifiable-by-test by identifying an inconsistency between two software artifacts and using the change request from the change request database, the defect record from the defect database, and the test case in the test case database in a second specified order.
