This metrics is an indicator of the effectiveness of the
testing process and test execution . Good percentage of
defects marked as "Rejected" implies that the understanding
of the test engineer on the functionality is low.

Indicator of the most problematic phase in the s/w dev.
Like Design, coding, Documentation, Test planning etc..
3. Defects by Detection phase.
Indicator of the most efficient phase of s/w dev. in terms
of finding and removing bugs.
