Optimization Models for Reliability of Modular Software Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents four optimization models to demonstrate that the optimization of software reliability within the available resources can be accomplished. The models help us find the optimal software system structure while considering basic information on reliability and cost of modules. Each model is applicable to a distinct situation. All four models maximize reliability while ensuring that expenditures remain within budget.

Optimal Allocation of Testing Resources for Modular Software Systems
In this paper, based on software reliability growth models with generalized logistic testing-effort function, we study three optimal resource allocation problems in modular software systems during testing phase: 1) minimization of the remaining faults when a fixed amount of testing-effort and a desired reliability objective are given, 2) minimization of the required amount of testing-effort whe...

In this paper, a special class of redundancy optimization problem with fuzzy random variables is presented. In this model, fuzzy random lifetimes are considered as basic parameters and the Er-expected of system lifetime is used as a major type of system performance. Then a redundancy optimization problem is formulated as a binary integer programming model. Furthermore, illustrative numerical ex...

متن کاملGenetic Algorithm Based Optimal Testing Effort Allocation Problem for Modular Software
Software reliability growth models (SRGM) are used to assess modular software quantitatively and predict the reliability of each of the modules during module testing phase. In the last few decades various SRGM’s have been proposed in literature. However, it is difficult to select the best model from a plethora of models available. To reduce this difficulty, unified modeling approaches have been...
