Synopsis Invited Feedback Importance (/10, author rated :-) )
Observes from a number of experiments that the fault curve rises logarithmically with function size until it reaches a point at around 300 lines of code at which point it becomes quadratic. The implication is that both small and large components are unusually error prone. The paper then develops a mathematical model of reliability based on the properties of the human short term and long term memory which explains this.None yet9
