On some reliability estimation problems in random and partition testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Studies have shown that random testing can be an effective testing strategy. One of tbe goals of testing is to estimate the reliability of tbe program from tbe test outcomes. In tbis paper we extend tbe Tbayer-Lipow-Nelson reliability model to account for tbe cost of errors. Also we compare random with partition testing by looking at upper confidence bounds for the cost weighted performance of tbe two strategies. Index Tenor-Partition testing, random testing, reliability estimation.

CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE LABORATOIRE D'ANALYSE ET D'ARCHITECTURE DES SYSTÈMES An Input Domain-Based Reliability Growth Model and Its Applications in Comparing Software Testing Strategies
Existing input domain-based reliability models do not account for software reliability growth, because they do not consider fault corrections. This paper proposes an input domain-based reliability growth model with fault correction history being taken into account. Both partition and random testing can be used to generate input cases for test runs. It is generally considered in the model that i...
متن کاملEstimation of Software Reliability by Sequential Testing with Simulated Annealing of Mean Field Approximation
Various problems of combinatorial optimization and permutation can be solved with neural network optimization. The problem of estimating the software reliability can be solved with the optimization of failed components to its minimum value. Various solutions of the problem of estimating the software reliability have been given. These solutions are exact and heuristic, but all the exact approach...

In this article, we consider the problem of estimating the stress-strength reliability $Pr (X > Y)$ based on upper record values when $X$ and $Y$ are two independent but not identically distributed random variables from the power hazard rate distribution with common scale parameter $k$. When the parameter $k$ is known, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), the approximate Bayes estimator and ...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Reliability of the Electronic Components Using Censored Data from Weibull Distribution: Different Prior Distributions
The Weibull distribution has been widely used in survival and engineering reliability analysis. In life testing experiments is fairly common practice to terminate the experiment before all the items have failed, that means the data are censored. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to estimate the reliability function of the Weibull distribution with uncensored and censored data by using B...
متن کاملOn Comparisons of Random, Partition, and Proportional Partition Testing
ÐEarly studies of random versus partition testing used the probability of detecting at least one failure as a measure of test effectiveness and indicated that partition testing is not significantly more effective than random testing. More recent studies have focused on proportional partition testing because a proportional allocation of the test cases (according to the probabilities of the subdo...
