Someone told me about swamp diagrams explaning that they were useful to predict code quality by measuring the rate of incoming defects and outgoing fixes on a given product. Unfortunately, I am unable to find additional information on those diagrams and I am wondering if it is a jargon term specific to one company. Can you explain wha...
I'm looking for a freeware defect tracking solution. I have experience with Mercury Quality Center, but I hear that comes with a five-digit pricetag. I need something for my personal projects. Webforms (i.e. ASP.NET) would be preferrable. Anything good out there? ...

Apart from ditching 'old code' to lesser mortals, is there any...
Hi, I have just been asked to generate reports for TFS, and I noticed that there are both bug and defect reports. Can anyone explain what the difference between the two is? Thanks, MagicAndi. ...
This question has no practical issues associated with it, it is more a matter of curiosity and wanting to know if I am taking things too literally ;). So I have been trying to work towards understanding as much of the c++ standard as possible. Today in my delving into the standard I noticed this (ISO/IEC 14882:2003 21.3.4): const_refe...

I doubt I've been banned and/or everyone else just lost interest. Hopefully all interested people will find this discussion, and there will b...
We are using simple points to arrive at efforts.I would like to know whats the industry standard for calculating defects/simple points.Any pointer towards this will be useful. Its for java/c/c++ technology projects. ...
