However, the use of most such models is delayed until late in the software product life-cycle (i.e. during testing) as they require failure time data to determine the model parameters. Currently, there is only one model, the basic execution time (BET) model that can be applied earlier in the product life-cycle as its parameters can be related directly to software characteristics. The derivation of the BET model implies uniform execution of program instructions. However, branches and loops in software programs results in non-uniform execution of program instructions. This paper introduces an extension of the BET model, the extended execution time (EET) model that takes into account non-uniform execution of instructions. The non-uniform execution is accounted for by a parameter in the EET model that can be related to measurable characteristics of the software product. This paper further shows the EET model reduces to the BET when instruction execution is uniform and has behavior similar to the Musa-Okumoto logarithmic model in the limit as instruction execution becomes highly non-uniform.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":296290,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings Third International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115307806","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}

With the HGDM, the discovery and rediscovery of faults during testing and debugging has been discussed. One of the parameters, the 'ease of test' function w(i) represents the total number of faults discovered and rediscovered at a test instance. In this paper, the authors firstly show that the ease of test function w(i) can be expressed as a function of the test coverage for the software under test. Test coverage represents a measure of how much of the software has been tested during a test run. Furthermore, the ease of test function w(i) can integrate a user-experience based parameter c that represents the strength of test cases to discover faults. This parameter c allows the integration of information on the goodness of test cases into the estimation process. The application of the HGDM to a set of real observed data clearly shows that the test coverage measure can be integrated directly into the ease of test function w(i) of the model.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":296290,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings Third International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129314846","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}

Although the predictive capability of the neural network models are better than some of the well known analytic models, the scaling problem has not been completely addressed yet. With the present neural network models, it is necessary to scale the cumulative faults over a 0.0 to 1.0 range, so the user has to estimate in advance a maximum value for the total number of faults to be detected at the end of the test phase. In practice, such an estimate may not be accurate. Use of an inaccurate value for scaling the cumulative faults can severely affect the predictive capability of neural network models. This paper presents a solution to the scaling problem which uses a clipped linear unit in the output layer. With a clipped linear output unit, the neural networks can predict positive values in any unbounded range. The authors demonstrate the applicability of the proposed network structure with three data sets and compare its predictive accuracy with that of earlier models. Expressions for the failure rate process represented by the models of the proposed network structure are also derived.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":296290,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings Third International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131027704","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}
