The Cold Hard Truth About Reliable Software

Built from the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking study

Since 1993, Mission Ready Software has built the world’s most extensive database of software failures and their root causes. We’ve benchmarked almost 700 factors against actual defect density on hundreds of programs, giving us unparalleled insight into what truly drives on time, on budget, functioning software. This document presents the data behind our machine-learning models, which are the engine of Requs AI.

600+ factors measured against these outcomes

Defect density prediction

Others guess what practices are valuable.  We know. 

Some of the most popular development methods aren’t as valuable as people think.
