A Software Testing-Progress Evaluation Model Based on a Digestion Process of Test-Cases
Mitsuhiro Kimura, Shigeru Yamada · International Journal of Reliability Quality and Safety Engineering · 1997
It is of great importance for software engineers and managers to evaluate software testing-progress in a large-scale software production process, since tremendous software development resources must be consumed to achieve high quality and reliability of a software product. By focusing on the behavior of the digested test-case data observed in the testing process, we construct a stochastic model and derive several quantitative measures for software testing-progress evaluation. Actual data observed in the testing process are analyzed by the proposed model, and we discuss the applicability of our models.
