Optimum software-release time considering an error-detection phenomenon during operation
Hiroshi Ohtera, Shigeru Yamada · IEEE Transactions on Reliability · 1990
An optimal software-release problem of determining the time to stop testing and release the software system to the user is discussed. The optimality considers software error detection during not only the testing phase but also the operation phase. Two evaluation criteria for the problem are used: software reliability and mean time between failures. Numerical examples illustrate the optimal software-release problem.>
