  • Software forecasting system
    Patent number: 8448127
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a software forecasting system includes a software forecasting tool coupled to a user interface and a software cost estimation tool. The software forecasting tool generates a software development metric according to attributes derived from one or more previous software development projects. The software forecasting tool receives a similar software development metric from the software cost estimation tool and calculates a difference between the received metric and that of its own and displays the result on the user interface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 30, 2009
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2013
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
    Inventors: Joe H. Lindley, Gary D. Thomas
  • Software defect forecasting system
    Patent number: 8296724
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a software defect forecasting system comprises a software forecasting tool operable to receive a number of attributes associated with a software development project from a user interface. The attributes are associated with a software development project in which a software product is developed over a period of time. The attributes are received prior to the beginning of the software development project such that an anticipated quantity of defects may be estimated prior to the beginning of the software development project. Moreover, the software defect forecasting system may estimate the anticipated quantity of defects for some, most, or all of the various development phases of the software development project.
