Abstract: Software engineering aims to ensure quality management to reduce cost of failures. The quality management system brings together functions, objectives and activities that maintain quality. Despite these strategies, failures do occur. A failure can be viewed as conceptual, technological and organisational failures. In order to reduce the chance of failure, it is necessary to identify the type of failure and its occurrence, detection and severity pattern. This paper presents a case-study of real time embedded projects, developed in CMMI level 4 and 5 software industries. The aim of this work is to emphasis upon different types of failures occurrence pattern, its severity and detection level to predict during software development process in real time embedded system projects enabling one to monitor, control and manage project failures. Areas which need attention to increase quality and productivity of the project are identified to improve customer satisfaction and survivability in the market.
