In this paper, a software release model is presented to determine the optimum testing time with consideration of software error type. The software errors are classified into two types, major and minor errors. The software testing is continued until the Nth major error is discovered and corrected. The total cost needed before and after testing time is modeled under nonhomogeneous Poisson error correction model. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the results.

Software developers often allocate a significant amount of effort to software testing. But for most business-related software system it is natural to expect the continued discovery of defects after the software system is released into field. Such defects are usually very expensive to fix and have the potential to cause great damages to the users. It is important to stop testing the software and release it to the users at the correct time. In this paper, we propose the determination of the optimal number of software test oy minimizing a total expected software cost. A numerical example is used when the criterion is the expected profit. The result indicates that the proposed software release policy based on the number of software test can be a good alternative to the existing policy.

A decision procedure to determine when computer software should be released after testing is described. This paper extends optimum release policies minimizing the total expected software cost with a scheduled software delivery time under reliability requirement constraint. Such cost considerations enable us to make a release decision as to when transfer a software system from testing phase to operational phase. The underlying model is software reliability growth model described by a nonhomogeneous poisson process. It is assumed that the penalty cost function due to delay for a scheduled software delivery time is linearly proportional to time. Numerical examples are shown to illustrate the results.

본 논문에서는 오류 수정 난이도를 나타내는 지표인 오류 수정 시간을 사용하여 소프트웨어 최적 출시 시점 결정 문제를 연구하였다. 특히 기존의 오류 수정 시간을 고려한 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델에서 오류 발견 시간과 수정 시간이 독립적이라는 가정을 수정하고, 오류 발견 시간과 수정 시간의 상관관계를 표현할 수 있는 일반적인 프레임워크 모델을 설정하여 소프트웨어 최적 출시 시점을 결정해 보고자 하였다. 그 결과 테스트 초기에 수정 시간이 걸리는 오류를 발견하는 것이 경제적인 관점에서 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 최적의 소프트웨어 출시 시점을 결정하는 데에 있어서 오류발견시간과 오류수정시간의 상관관계를 분석하는 것이 매우 중요하다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

The software reliability is defined, and not only the relations between testing time and reliability, but also the relation between duration following failure fixing and reliability are studied in this paper. The release time making the testing cost to be minimum is determined through evaluating the cost for each condition. Also, the release time is determined depending on the conditions of the first reliability, considering the specified reliability. The optimum release time is determined by simultaneously studying two optimum release time issues that determine both the cost related time and the specified reliability related time. And, each condition and limitation are studied. The trend of the optimum time is also examined.

In discuss how the existing study results that decide optimum release time are rational and reasonable, considering the cost and reliability simultaneously in this paper. As a study method this paper examines the proposed results and their methodologies centering around the existing related papers for the general cost-reliability optimal release policies, especially their limitation for the derived results.

In this paper, faults existing in a software system is classified into three types; simple, degenerative and regenerative faults. The reliability functions and failure rates of both a software module and system which have a mixture of such faults are obtained and the expected number of failures in the system after time T is also derived. Using the formulas obtained, a cost-reliability model and an efficient algorithm for optimal software release time are proposed via nonlinear programming formulation ; minimizing the total test cost with constraints on the failure rates of each module. Application of this model to several cases are presented and it appears to be more realistic.

The software reliability growth model(SRGM) has been developed in order to estimate such reliability measures as remaining fault number, failure rate and reliability for the developing stage software. Almost of them assumed that the faults detected during testing were evetually removed. Namely, they have studied SRGM based on the assumption that the faults detected during testing were perfectly removed. The fault removing efficiency. however. IS imperfect and it is widely known as so in general. It is very difficult to remove detected fault perfectly because the fault detecting is not easy and new error may be introduced during debugging and correcting. Therefore, the fault detecting efficiency may influence the SRGM or cost of developing software. It is a very useful measure for the developing software. much helpful for the developer to evaluate the debugging efficiency, and, moreover, help to additional workloads necessary. Therefore. it is very important to evaluate the effect of imperfect dubugging in point of SRGM and cost. and may influence the optimal release time and operational budget. I extent and study the generally used reliability and cost models to the imperfect debugging range in this paper.

As we know every software development process is pretty large and consists of different modules. This raises the idea of prioritizing different software modules so that important modules can be tested by preference. In the software testing process, it is not possible to test each and every module regressively, which is due to time and cost constraints. To deal with these constraints, this paper proposes an approach that is based on the fuzzy multi-criteria approach for prioritizing several software modules and calculates optimal time and cost for software testing by using fuzzy logic and the fault tolerance approach.
