The first set of experiments aims to study
the run-time performance of SALAD in extracting method
sequences from bytecode and in training its API usage models.
So instead one must choose a set of discrete categories and devise mapping rules to convert the data consistently and coherently into the new categories.
Improving quality assurance effort in software projects is an important task to keep the existing customers satisfied and to compete in a competitive market.
An example situation in which such a mapping is necessary is when defect data from a variety of projects is aggregated to build a quality model that relates some characteristics of
software development to resulting quality in terms of defects.
Thus, some sort of mapping must be done to convert the data into a common format
that still preserves as much of the meaning of the original data as possible.

To sustain such pursuit and provide a focus for the activity a process description has been found useful.
However,
the area of software quality measurements and quantification is beset with undue complexity and has, in some ways, advanced away from the developer.
