Engineering Practices for Statistical Testing
Jesse H. Poore, Carmen J. Trammell · 1998
This article describes the application of statistical science to the testing and evaluation of software and software-intensive systems. Engineering practices are described for statistical testing based on a usage model, which is an engineering formalism that represents the use of a system in a specific environment or situation, or for a specific customer class. Engineering practices for statistical testing are based on a view of software use as a stochastic process and of software testing as a problem amenable to statistical solution.
