In typical software development, a software reliability growth model
(SRGM) is applied in each testing activity to determine the time to
finish the testing.
However, there are some cases in which the SRGM does not work
correctly. That is, the SRGM sometimes mistakes quality for poor
quality products. In order to tackle this problem, we apply time
series data collected from development to quality estimation.
First, we investigate the characteristics of the time series data on
the detected faults by observing the change of the number of
detected faults. Using the rank correlation coefficient, the data
are classified into four kinds of trends. Next, with the intention
of estimating software quality, we investigate the relationship
between the trends of the time series data and software
quality. Here, software quality is defined by the number of faults
detected during six months after shipment.
Finally, we find a relationship between the trends and metrics data
collected in the software design phase. Using logistic regression,
we statistically show that two review metrics in the design \&
coding phase can determine the trend.

According to a progress of the software process improvement, the
time series data on the number of faults detected by the software
testing are collected extensively. In this paper, we
perform statistical analyses of relationships between the time
series data and the field quality of software products.
At first, we apply the rank correlation coefficient $\tau$ to the
time series data collected from actual software testing in a
certain company, and classify these data into four types of trends:
strict increasing, almost increasing, almost decreasing, and
strict decreasing. We then investigate, for each type of trend,
the field quality of software products developed by the
corresponding software projects. As a result of statistical
analyses, we showed that software projects having trend of almost or
strict decreasing in the number of faults detected by the software
testing could produce the software products with high quality.
