When an Item is baselined, it becomes frozen, here frozen means, that the item can be changed only by creating an
old version
► ευρΤ

Availability and Reliability are concerned with
► Perceived quality
► Quantitatively measured quality

Software Availability can be calculated by the following equation:
► Availability = (MTTR/MTTF) x 100
► Availability = (MTBF/MTTR) x 100
► Availability = (MTTF/MTBF) x 100
► Availability = (MTBF/MTTF) x 100

Phase Index can be calculated by the help of the following formula, where
Ei – the total number of errors uncovered during the ith step in the SE process
Si – number of serious errors
Mi – number of moderate errors
Ti – number of minor errors
PSi – product size at the ith step
ws, wm, wt – weighting factors for serious, moderate, and minor errors
► PIi = ws(Si/Ei) + wm(Mi/Ei) + wt(Ti/Ei)

► PIi = ws(Si/Ei) + wm(Mi/Mi) + wt(Ti/T)
► PIi = ws(Si/Ei) + wm(Mi/Mi) + wt(Ti/Ei)
► PIi = ws(Si/S) + wm(Mi/M) + wt(Ti/E)

The higher the Error Index, the higher will be the Defect Removal Efficiency
