Abstract

Abstract : In the management of software testing, testing-recourse allocation is one of the most important problems due to the tradeoff between development cost and reliability of released software. This paper presents the model-based approach to design the testing-resource allocation. In particular, we employ the architecture-based software reliability model with operational profile to estimate the quantitative software reliability in operation phase and formulate the multiobjective optimization problems with respect to cost, testing effort, and software reliability. In numerical experiment, we investigate the difference of the presented optimization problem from the existing testing-resource allocation model.
