Estimating the Required Test Volume and Effort for Software Verification and Validation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces an approach to estimating the test volume and related effort required to perform verification and validation activities on software projects. This approach first uses size measures of functional requirements to estimate this volume, and then effort estimation models based on these test volumes. This estimation approach takes into account other types of non-functional requirements, as documented in ECSSE-40, part 1-B.

A New Architecture Based on Artificial Neural Network and PSO Algorithm for Estimating Software Development Effort
Software project management has always faced challenges that have often had a great impact on the outcome of projects in future. For this, Managers of software projects always seek solutions against challenges. The implementation of unguaranteed approaches or mere personal experiences by managers does not necessarily suffice for solving the problems. Therefore, the management area of software p...
متن کاملOn narrowing the gap between verification and systematic testing
Our work on narrowing the gap between verification and systematic testing has two directions: (1) complementing verification with systematic testing, and (2) pushing systematic testing toward reaching verification. In the first direction, we explore how to effectively combine static analysis with systematic testing, so as to guide test generation toward properties that have not been previously ...

The ability to generate sufficiently accurate effort estimates can be seen as a key success factor for multiorganizational projects focusing on the development of large and critical software systems. This is caused, for instance, by the need for synchronizing multiple development and verification and validation processes. Paradoxically, effort predictions in the critical software systems domain...
