Testing of software or software-based systems and services is considered asone of the most effort-consuming activities in the lifecycle. This appliesespecially to those domains where highly iterative development and continuousintegration cannot be applied. Several approaches have been proposed to usemeasurement as a means to improve test effectiveness and efficiency. Most ofthem rely on using product data, historical data, or in-process data that isnot related to quality assurance ac- tivities. Very few approaches use datafrom early quality assurance activities such as inspection data in order tofocus testing activities and thereby reduce test effort. This article gives anoverview of potential benefits of using data from early defect detectionactivities, potentially in addition to other data, in order to focus testingactivities. In addition, the article sketches an integrated inspection andtesting process and its evaluation in the context of two case studies. Takingthe study limitations into account, the results show an overall reduction oftesting effort by up to 34%, which mirrors an efficiency improvement of up toabout 50% for testing.
