How do I calculate the remaining reopen-adjusted defect queue and the days needed to retest it?
Each reopened issue is included in marked closures. Retest pace assumes equal effort and does not predict a successful repair.
Open Defect closeout gateTry the worked example
These are the example inputs from Defect closeout gate. Replace them in the tool to run your own case.
| Defects logged (issues) | Marked closed (issues) | Reopened after test (issues) | Retests per day (issues/day) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74 | 56 | 8 | 9 |
Example result
Outstanding defects · 26 issues

Where the idea came from
A foreman’s site note becomes a job-specific handover that someone checks. This independent application adapts that idea to calculate the remaining reopen-adjusted defect queue and the days needed to retest it.
