On input profile selection for software testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyzes the effect of input profile selection on software testing using the concept of fault detectability profile. It shows that optimality of the input profile during testing depends on factors such as the planned testing effort and the fault detectability profile. To achieve ultra-reliable software, selecting test input uniformly among different input domains is preferred. On the other hand, if testing effort is limited due to cost or schedule constraints, one should test only the highly used input domains. Use of operational profile is also needed for accurate determination of operational reliability.
