Reader Aids: Purpose: To widen state of the art Special math needed for explanation: Probability Special math needed to use results: None Results useful to: Reliability analysts and theoreticians Summary and Conclusions: We consider the problem of acceptance testing for a series system of n different components, each having an unknown, constant failure rate. Components are individually tested a...

Sex-typed reactions are contrasted in male and female normals and chronic schizophrenics. In general, the schizophrenics show sex-role alienation on tests which contain a self-image reference (a Role Playing Test, a Body Parts Acceptance Test, and a Figure Preference Test), Female schizophrenics tend to react in a more assertive manner like normal males, and male schizophrenics in a more sensit...

Testability is defined as the probability that a program will fail a test, conditional on the program containing some fault. In this paper, we show that statements about the testability of a program can be more simply described in terms of assumptions on the probability distribution of the failure intensity of the program. We can thus state general acceptance conditions in clear mathematical te...

Internet of Things (IoT) applications and systems pervade our life increasingly and assuring their quality is of paramount importance. Unfortunately, few proposals for testing these complex — and often safety-critical — systems are present in the literature and testers are left alone to build their test cases. This paper is a first step towards acceptance testing of an IoT system that relies on...

User acceptance plays a pivotal role in success of all IS projects. Yet, most of the e-government endeavors worldwide have fallen short of their potential. Online transactions with public administrations are plagued with concerns of data protection and privacy resulting in reluctance to engage in egovernment. Although trust is confirmed to be an effective instrument for dealing with the anxiety...
