Bug Fixing Metrics?


Curious if there are any good metric formulas that align a team well for fixing bugs (reducing total count) while not penalizing them for the reporting of 'old' bugs in a system. Looking to track a number for the health of the system and the performance of a team.

I'm US based, so any formulas I come up with tend to be in Imperial, not metric.

Bad jokes aside, do you want bugs committed before a set date to be ignored in the calculation, or receive a lower weight?
