A solution for dramatically reducing the number of defects in large C, C++ or Java applications is described. This solution has been implemented using a software Development Information System (DIS), and consists of two stages: 1) Existing Defect Identification identifies and fixes existing software defects early in the development cycle; 2) New Defect Prevention prevents new defects from entering the code base by enforcing coding standards through automated code reviews, and preventing code breakages by enabling accurate impact analysis.
