Evaluating and presenting software testing project status indicators

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• determine, using a defect prediction function, an actual defect detection ratio based on a ratio of a number of completed tests to a total number of tests to be executed;
• determine an estimated total number of defects to be detected based on the actual defect detection ratio and an actual number of detected defects;
• and
• determine an estimated number of remaining defects to be detected based on the estimated total number of defects and the actual number of detected defects.

A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• determine, based on a defect prediction function, an actual defect detection ratio based on a ratio of a number of completed tests to a total number of tests to be executed;
• determine an estimated total number of defects to be detected based on the actual defect detection ratio and an actual number of detected defects;
• and
• determine an estimated number of remaining defects to be detected based on the estimated total number of defects and the actual number of detected defects.
