The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of class testing from the perspective of reliability. The experiments in this study involved testing and measuring the reliability of a C++ program and a Java program. We introduced a class testing technique that exploits the function dependence relationship to reduce the testing effort in subclass testing and in testing polymorphism without degrading the reliability of object-oriented programs. In subclass testing, the impact of function dependence class testing on reliability was compared with two other techniques: exhaustive class testing, which flattens every class and tests every function in the class; and minimal class testing, which tests only new and re-defined functions. The results show that function dependence class testing preserves the same level of program reliability as does exhaustive class testing, while the effort is significant reduced. In polymorphism testing, we conducted an experiment to observe the relationship between the binding coverage and the reliability of the program. The results suggest that testing possible bindings is necessary, and using the function dependence relationship to determine which bindings to cover in testing is sufficient.","PeriodicalId":170184,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings The Eighth International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128055382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Case based reasoning (CBR) is a modeling technique that seeks to answer new questions by identifying similar \"cases\" from the past. When applied to software reliability, the working hypothesis of our approach is this: a module currently under development is probably fault prone if a module with similar product and process attributes in an earlier release was fault prone. The contribution of the paper is application of case based reasoning to software quality modeling. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that case based reasoning has been used to identify fault prone modules. A case study illustrates our approach and provides evidence that case based reasoning can be the basis for useful software quality classification models that are competitive with discriminant models. The case study revisits data from a previously published nonparametric discriminant analysis study. The Type II misclassification rate of the CBR model was substantially better than that of the discriminant model. Although the Type I misclassification rate was slightly greater and the overall misclassification rate was only slightly less, the CBR model was preferred when costs of misclassification were considered.","PeriodicalId":170184,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings The Eighth International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129411498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
