Testing of Hypotheses and Validations Through Cases

Abstract

In Chap. 3, we proposed certain relationships in the form of hypotheses of two dependent variables, productivity and defect density with a number of independent variables. The independent variables application complexity, experience in technology, experience in domain, training, client support, availability of modules, computation speed, testing tools availability and document management system were postulated to influence productivity. However, when it came to defect density, all these variables with the only exception of computational speed were taken as independent variables affecting defect density.
