Pointers for Industry standards

[Sri]

Hi All,

I am looking for some information on measurements and comparing it
with standards/benchmarks.

This is what I am looking for:
1. How much % of time is spent on dev vs. QA (ours is 60:40; how does
this
compare with industry standards?)
2. Within development how much time is spent on design vs. coding vs.
reviews vs. testing( ours is 12:48:3:37; how does this compare with
industry standards?)
3. Defects per LoC (ours is 1:114 c++ code; how does this compare with
industry standards?)
4. Test cases per Loc (not yet calculated; does not whether this is of
any
worth)
5. Review effectiveness: Say, 10% of the bugs were found during code
reviews. Is this good/bad/satisfactory??

Offhand information is welcome but I am looking for some literature /
website / source which I can refer in my report.

Thanks,
~Sri

3 books for reference.
Even if you don't want to use FPA, they provide percentages which will hold
true for effort expended. (Mind you, they used FPA to ensure they got a
standard measure of size on which to base the percentages ;-))
