CONTEXT: Quality assurance effort, especially testing effort, is often a major cost factor
during software development, which sometimes consumes more than 50% of the overall …

This paper studies the fault detection process (FDP) and fault correction process (FCP) with
the incorporation of testing effort function and imperfect debugging. In order to ensure high …

Software reliability growth model (SRGM) with testing-effort function (TEF) is very helpful for
software developers and has been widely accepted and applied. However, each SRGM with …

In software testing, optimal testing resource allocation problems (OTRAPs) are important
when seeking a good tradeoff between reliability, cost, and time with limited resources …

Testing-effort (TE) and imperfect debugging (ID) in the reliability modeling process may
further improve the fitting and prediction results of software reliability growth models …

Early release of smart products followed by operational-phase updates through patches has
become a common industry practice. However, a systematic examination of this approach …

Purpose The use of software is overpowering our modern society. Advancement in
technology is directly proportional to an increase in user demand which further leads to an …

We develop an optimal control model for optimally allocating effort between detection and
correction processes, during testing phase of a software development life cycle (SDLC). The …

Testing resource allocation is the problem of planning the assignment of resources to testing
activities of software components so as to achieve a target goal under given constraints …

This study proposes an approach in which software developer should release the product
early and continue the testing process for an added period in the operational phase. The …
