This article serves two purposes: firstly, it presents an innovative methodology that increases the accuracy of fault prediction measurements. This method is based on the novel concept of "fault persistency", which enables to correct prediction metrics with a weighted value related to the module’s history. Secondly, it aims to develop operational processes from the aforesaid prediction metrics that may contribute to software construction and validation. It presents an example of an allocation methodology for resources used for testing purposes. The theoretical part is followed by an extensive experimental phase.
