A software project faces its top expense on defect removal; thereby delaying the schedules. There has been increasing demand for high quality software. Here, high quality software means, delivering defect free software and meeting the predictable results within time and cost constraints. Software defect prediction strives to improve software quality and testing efficiency. The research work presented here is an empirical study and analyzes importance of different metrics used in the organization. The paper examines the impact of LSL and USL, known as organization baselines, on various projects and proposes four metrics for capability analysis metrics. These can prove beneficial for categorizing the process of software development. These metrics aim to improve the ongoing software development process and are helpful in determining the quality of these processes in terms of their specification limits. Also, the paper attempts to justify the probability of the values related to the data provided by normal distribution or Gaussian distribution.

Code refactoring is a “Process of restructuring an existing source code.”. It also helps in improving the internal structure of the code without really affecting its external behaviour”. It changes a source code in such a way that it does not alter the external behaviour yet still it improves its internal structure. It is a way to clean up code that minimizes the chances of introducing bugs. Refactoring is a change made to the internal structure of a software component to make it easier to understand and cheaper to modify, without changing the observable behaviour of that software component. Bad smells indicate that there is something wrong in the code that have to refactor. There are different tools that are available to identify and emove these bad smells. A software has two types of quality attributes- Internal and external. In this paper we will study the effect of clone refactoring on software quality attributes.
