Classification-aware Defect Ranking (CDR) Model

For enterprises that have a significant backlog of defects,
Who are dissatisfied with their current prioritization approaches,
The Classification-aware Defect Ranking (CDR) Model,
Provides clarity on those parameters to be considered for an objective approach to determining a ranking score that is the basis for prioritization,
Unlike other ranking approaches that tend to be subjective and inadequate in capturing the various considerations.

For the CDR Model defect classification is based on a mandate to repair and breadth of exposure (who knows about the defect).

The CDR Model uses this classification along with inputs for Reach, Impact, Confidence, Pressure, and Understanding to calculate a Defect Ranking Score.
