Operational Testing of Software-Intensive Systems: Observations and Comments
نویسنده
چکیده
Three operational test events from separate ACAT 1D acquisition programs are the foundation for this study. The generalized effect of the software systems on individual test results is examined. The test results support discussions related to several current test and evaluation (T&E) initiatives such as early integrated testing, cost reduction by sharing high-demand testing assets, and mission-based T&E. The creative and innovative power of the representative set of users employing the software system is continually demonstrated. Though users remain the backbone of every initial operational test (IOT) final exam, this study suggests that the same representative set of users are a potentially viable resource for guiding more efficient early development and testing of future software-intensive systems.

متن کاملSystem Level Metrics for Software Development Estimation
Previous empirical observations on the development of software systems indicate that the effort required for developing software is primarily driven by the size of the software which is measured by either the source line of code (SLOC) or function based metrics, such as Function Points. However, since most large scale systems today are more software intensive, where with the growing complexity ...
