Orthogonal Defect Classification
Orthogonal defect classification (ODC) is a way to find and track problems in a product or a system like a computer program. Think of it like finding mistakes in a coloring book. If you color outside the lines or forget to color in a part of the picture, you are making a mistake.
In ODC, we have a list of possible mistakes or defects that could happen. This list is like the coloring book where we know what the picture is supposed to look like. Each defect in the list is called an orthogonal defect because it is independent of other defects on the list. This means that if we find one defect, it doesn't mean that there aren't others.
When we find a defect, we write it down on a form and assign it to a category on the list. This helps us keep track of what kind of mistakes are happening most often. Like if we see that we keep forgetting to color in a part of the picture, we know that we need to pay more attention to that in the future.
ODC is useful because it helps us find and fix mistakes in our products or systems. This way, we can make sure that everything is working the way it is supposed to and that our customers are happy with what we are providing.
