- Process yield refers to the percentage of the defects injected into a product that were removed before a given phase.
- Thus, for a 100 LOC module, if you later determine that a total of 8 defects were injected into a module before compile and 5 were removed before compile, the yield before compile would be 100*5/8=62.5%.
- In planning, use the QUAL standard or your own data to estimate the yield values for each defect-removal phase.
