Abstract

One of the important features of any software system is its operational profile. This is simply the set of all operations that a software is designed to perform and the occurence probabilities of these operations. We present a new model on optimal software testing such that testing is done sequentially using a set of test cases. There may be failures due to the operations in each of these cases. The model parameters, consisting of testing costs and failure rates, all depend on the cases used and the operations performed. Our aim is to find the optimal testing durations in all of the cases in order to minimize the total expected cost. This problem leads to interesting decision models involving nonlinear programming formulations that possess explicit analytical solutions under reasonable assumptions. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Naval Research Logistics 47: 620–634, 2000
