Simulation Techniques for Determining Numbers of Programmers in the Process of Software Testing
Adtha Lawanna · Engineering Journal · 2014
One of the main problems in software engineering is to determine the appropriate numbers of programmer working through the software-development life cycle, particularly in the process of coding, testing, and maintenance.The high numbers of the programmer increase the cost of developing software.However, the small teams cause another problem, especially in the process of testing software.Therefore, this article presents the simulation technique for the development team in order to determine the appropriate numbers of programmers, whereas the testing time is specified by the users.Firstly, the relationship among programmers, codes, and testing time are constructed and studied.Secondly, it is the application based simulation technique for determining the suitable numbers of programmers by running 20, 50, 100, and 200 experiments.Lastly, the proposed model interprets the percent errors for the different programs.The contribution is to manage and reduce the cost of developing program and increase the accuracy of testing software by improving the percent errors.
