Latent defects are those defects that still remain in the software product even when delivered to the customer.

These can be identified effectively with Inspections. Regarding the true volume of latent defects shipped with a product to users, in most cases this can never really be determined. We do not yet have the ability to decisively determine the real number of defects shipped with a product. We can project total defects based on other characteristics in the process or we can assume zero defects based on other process data and patterns, but we cannot prove it. For example, we can analyze error depletion curves prior to delivery to make a prediction of latent defects after delivery.
