Abstract
Software engineering has devised several project management metrics to optimize implementation and obtain a product with high efficiency, at less time and cost. Inventors faced many challenges to find measurements that able to anticipate accurate results that help avoid errors and risks in the advanced stages of the project. The systems most affected by any errors during the development process are Safety-Critical systems (SCS), as 60% of failures during operation are due to errors during development. This paper proposes a metric that uses weight and milestones to predict implementation in advanced stages of a project. The proposed metric is called Weighted Test Metric (WTM). WTM enhance the reliability assessment and reduce failures during project development by predicting Standards Achievement (SA) in the next test. WTM results showed that faults can be reduced during the development of a petroleum drilling project to 0.67% and enhance the overall reliability to 99.16% while actual results (98.30%). This paper focuses on “How to enhance reliability assessment and reduce failures during project development activities?”. This research raises the question through the application of WTM in the stages of development of the Petroleum Drilling Project.
