ABSTRACT At Raytheon Systems Canada Ltd. (RSCL), it has been found that certain software metrics provide early warning signs of future rework. By using leading indicators early in the software development cycle to identify high risk units, substantial rework can be saved later in the cycle. It is expected that this finding can be replicated on any project with a software review and testing process, development environment, and metrics program similar to that of a RSCL project.
