Software Life Cycle Empirical/Experience Database (SLED)
The Software Life Cycle Empirical/Experience Database (SLED) was established to support
the acquisition, maintenance, and dissemination of software empirical lifecycle data for
research purposes and to support the improvement of the software development process.
The SLED is organized into five data sets covering all phases and aspects of the software
lifecycle:
- ARF Error Dataset: Data collected and analyzed by David Weiss on the
development of the Architecture Research Facility (ARF) at the Naval
Research Laboratories (NRL).
- DACS Productivity Dataset: Data collected from various government and private industry sources and compiled by Richard Nelson of Rome Laboratory.
- NASA Ames Error/Fault Dataset: Data collected on errors/faults in
thirty-three Digital Flight Control Systems.
- NASA/SEL Dataset: Data collected and contributed by the Software Engineering Laboratory (SEL) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
- Software Reliability Dataset: Data collected at Bell Laboratories, Whippany, NJ, and compiled by John Musa.
The ARF Error, DACS Productivity, NASA Ames Error/Fault, and Software Reliability
Empirical Datasets may be purchased for $50 each from the
DACS Store.
The SLED is further described in The DACS Data Compendium, available free from the DACS.
The AIAA SBOS COS Software Reliability Database is defined in the Data Definition Document,
a three-volume draft report also available free from the DACS.
