Optimal Resource Allocation for Reliability of Modular Software Systems

Journal Title: Computer Science and Mathematical Modelling - Year 2011, Vol 0, Issue 7

Abstract

Considerable development resources are consumed during the software-testing phase. The software development manager has to decide how to use the testing-resources effectively in order to maximize the software quality and reliability. The paper discusses a management problem to achieve a reliable software system efficiently during the module testing stage by applying a software reliability growth model. This model both describes the software-error detection phenomenon and represents the relationship between the cumulative number of errors encountered by software testing and the time span of the testing. As testing cost and software reliability are both important factors in the testing-resource allocation problems an investigation is performed in the paper to search for the optimal solution for modular software system with the objectives of maximising system reliability and minimising testing cost.
