  • Patent number: 9753838
    Abstract: A method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The programming instructions are operable to receive a tool error output determined by a code inspection tool and select at least one defect classification mapping profile based on the code inspection tool. Additionally, the programming instructions are operable to map the tool error output to one or more output classifications using the selected at least one defect classification mapping profile and generate at least one report based on the one or more output classifications.

  • Patent number: 9710257
    Abstract: A method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The programming instructions are operable to receive a maturity level for an organization and select at least one defect analysis starter/defect reduction method (DAS/DRM) defect profile based on the maturity level. Additionally, the programming instructions are operable to determine a projection analysis for one or more stages of the life cycle of a software code project of the organization based on the at least one DAS/DRM defect profile.
