Software Testing Resource Allocation and Release Time Problem: A Review

Software testing Resource allocation and release time decisions are vital for the software systems. The objective behind such critical decisions may differ from firm to firm. The motive of the firm may be maximization of software reliability or maximization of number of faults to be removed from each module or it may be minimization of number of faults remaining in the software or minimization of testing resources. Taking into consideration these different aims, various authors have investigated the problem of resource allocation and release time problem. In this paper we investigate various software release policies and resource allocation problem, for example, policies based on the dual constraints of cost and reliability.
