- Title
Optimal stopping time in software testing based on failure size approach.
- Authors
Zachariah, Babu
- Abstract
When to stop testing is an important aspect in software test management. This paper discusses a new approach to this problem. There are two major improvements in this approach in comparison to the earlier studies. It uses failure size proportional model to estimate the number of failures and the corresponding cost of repair. Instead of reliability it uses a new measure called attained failure size. Failure size is the probability of finding a failure causing input in the input domain. Attained failure size is the failure size at the termination of testing. The advantages of these improvements are also discussed.
