Abstract

To remain competitive and at the same time to satisfy the users' desire, these days software organisations are releasing the software early and removing the remaining number of bugs based on users' feedback or report in the post-release testing phase. Early release may affect software performance due to inadequate elimination of faults due to which the manufacturer may bear post-release cost of fixing the undetected faults. On the other hand, late release may increase the risk of more failures in the functioning environment. Software reliability can be achieved by efficient testing and testing is directly proportional to testing effort/resources consumed. In this paper, we propose a testing effort-based cost model to determine the optimal release and testing stop time and corresponding optimal effort consumed by minimising the total cost. Numerical illustration is done to validate the proposed cost model.
基于工作量的软件发布和测试停止时间决策
为了保持竞争力,同时满足用户的愿望,如今软件组织正在提前发布软件,并在发布后测试阶段根据用户的反馈或报告消除剩余数量的漏洞。早期发布可能会由于故障排除不足而影响软件性能,因此制造商可能会承担发布后修复未检测到的故障的费用。另一方面,延迟发布可能会增加功能环境中发生更多故障的风险。软件可靠性可以通过有效的测试来实现,测试与所消耗的测试工作量/资源成正比。在本文中,我们提出了一个基于测试工作量的成本模型,通过最小化总成本来确定最佳发布和测试停止时间以及相应的最佳工作量。通过数值算例验证了所提出的成本模型。
