Abstract

An apparatus for processing data relating to software defects operates within an on-line analytical processing environment that includes an on-line analytical processing presentation tool (60). An on-line analytical processing cube model builder (32) builds a plurality of interrelated tables (22) with on-line analytical processing cube model metadata (30). The cube model (30) is configured to be processed by the associated on-line analytical processing presentation tool (60). A data extraction tool (36) communicates with a defect tracking database (10, 12) containing said data relating to software defects. The data extraction tool (36) extracts said data from the defect tracking database (10, 12), transforms the extracted data into the software defect entries, and loads the software defect entries into the tables (22).
