Abstract
In order to improve the efficiency of inspections, quantitative data on defect content have to be the basis for decisions in the inspection process. An experience-based capture-recapture method is proposed, which overcomes some problems with the basic pre-requisites of the original method. A C-code inspection experiment is conducted to evaluate the enhanced method and its applicability to software code inspections. It is concluded that the experience-based estimation procedure gives significantly better estimates than the maximum-likelihood method and the estimates are not very sensitive to changes in the inspection data.
