Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a method and system for measuring preventability metric of an application. The preventability metric quantifies the extent to which bugs and failures, and the causes for failures are diagnosed in the application. Also, the extent to which appropriate preventive or corrective activities are deployed before deployment of the application is provided. Further, a framework to monitor and control the preventability metric systematically is disclosed. The methodology is to obtain the efficiency of the preventive techniques used on the application, use the obtained efficiency measures to arrive at a preventability metric that quantifies the preventability of failures of the application.
