J. C. Munson, A. P. Nikora, and J. S. Sherif, "Software faults: a quantifiable definition," Adv. Eng. Softw., vol. 37, no. 5, pp. 327-333, 2006.
Here's a curious little paper. The authors set out find a rigorous definition of the inherently messy notion of a software fault. Their solution is bold, simple, and ludicrous: just count the number of source tokens that change at each check-in and use that as the number of software faults.
What this paper does have going for it is an extensive reading list on software quality, broken down by subtopic. I'll definitely be coming back to this paper for other reading suggestions.
