Constructing a stability index for software using probability ratio sequential testing
Paul H. Franklin, Xuemei Zhang · 2005
In this paper, the results of software testing during development is considered. Progress toward completion may be measured in part by developing and tracking a stability index for the product under development. We propose that a stability index can be constructed based on probability ratio sequential testing. These indices can be manipulated to understand sensitivity to various customer profiles. A stability index constructed is useful for determining sensitivity to variable customer profiles, balancing the mix of categories of test cases, and optimizing total duration of stability testing.
