Enterprise Defect Analysis Methodology (EDAM) – Version 2.0 – Phase 2: Enterprise Defect Classification

Abstract

Enterprise Defect Analysis Methodology (EDAM) is an evidence-first methodology for enterprise software quality engineering. EDAM transforms historical enterprise defect repositories into trustworthy evidence before analysis begins. The methodology establishes a structured, repeatable, and technology-independent approach for validating, classifying, and analyzing enterprise defect evidence. Version 2.0 includes: Enterprise Problem Vision Foundation Evidence-First Philosophy Core Principles Methodology Objectives EDAM Architecture Phase 1 – Enterprise Dataset Validation (EDV) Phase 2 – Enterprise Defect Classification Appendix A About the Author Version History Phase 2 – Enterprise Defect Classification establishes a consistent, evidence-supported classification structure for validated enterprise defect evidence. It provides multiple classification dimensions while preserving traceability, historical context, and classification uncertainty. Version 2.0 builds upon the Foundation and Phase 1 – Enterprise Dataset Validation established in EDAM Version 1.0.
