Simulation of Software Fault Detection and Correction Processes Considering Different Skill Levels of Debuggers
Rui Peng, F.R. Shahrzad · 2014
Since analytical software reliability growth models (SRGMs) are difficult to incorporate complex factors, some researchers have tried to model fault detection process (FDP) and fault correction process (FCP) together through simulation approaches. In these works, the debuggers are assumed to be with the same skill level, which may be unrealistic. In this paper, a simulation approach is proposed to model FDP and FCP considering debuggers with different skill levels. The optimal combination of different debuggers and the optimal release time are discussed.
