Error modelling applications in software quality assurance

This paper presents the results of a two-phased experiment conducted by Rome Air Development Center and Syracuse University to demonstrate the potential applicability of software error prediction models in performing formalized qualification testing of a software package. First, decisions based upon the predictions of three software error prediction models will be compared with actual program decisions for a large command and control software development project. Classical and Bayesian demonstration tests are used to make accept/reject decisions about the software system. Finally, the results of the two phases will be compared and some conclusions drawn as to the potential use of these predictive techniques to software quality assurance.
