Main Description
Orthogonal Defect Classification is a classification of the defects that the organization has produced. This provides a source of past defects and a roadmap of where to look for future defects. IBM first published a set of categories using their defect database as the basis for the classification. Others have proposed addiitonal categories particular to their environment. The basic idea is to look for a classification scheme that will be useful in defining review and test procedures.
