Optimal Software Release Policy for Random Cost Model

Cost-reliability-optimal release policy for software reliability models incorporating improvements in testing efficiency

Over the past 30 years, many software reliability growth models (SRGMs) have been proposed for estimation of reliability growth of products during software development processes. One of the most important applications of SRGMs is to determine the software release time. Most software developers and managers always want to know the date on which the desired reliability goal will be met. In this p...

Analysis of 4p-Kappa TEF in to Software Reliability Growth Model and Optimal Software Release Policy

This paper investigates a SRGM (Software reliability growth model) based on NHPP (non-homogeneous Poisson process) which incorporates the 4p-Kappa testing effort function. Testing Software reliability is generally a key factor in software quality. Reliability is an essential ingredient in customer satisfaction. In software development process reliability conveys the information to managers to a...

Optimal Software Release Policy Based on Cost and Reliability with Testing Efficiency

In this paper, we study the optimal software release problem considering cost, reliability and testing eficiency. We first propose a generalized logistic testing-effort function that can be used to describe the actual consumption of resources during the sojiware development process. We then address the problem of how to decide when to stop testing and when to release software for use. In addres...

Bayesian Approach to Optimal Release Policy of Software System

Optimal Software Release Time Policy using Goal Programming

In this paper, the impact of software testing effort and the efficiency on the modeling of software reliability for optimizing the cost in case of release time policy has been discussed. Another important problem in the software development process is to determine when to stop testing and release the software. If testing is stopped too early, there may be too many defects in the software, resul...
