Explanation

For a codebase exceeding three million lines of code, regression analysis is used as a quality management tool to identify relationships between code characteristics - such as complexity, frequency of changes, module age, and developer activity - and the likelihood of defects. This helps the project manager pinpoint the highest-risk areas and focus review efforts accordingly, rather than attempting an exhaustive line-by-line review. While statistical sampling is also used in quality management, regression analysis provides a predictive model that is especially useful in large-scale software projects where targeted, risk-based reviews are more practical and efficient.
