Software reliability testing is being used as a tool to help assess these software engineering technologies. [9] To improve the performance of software product and software development process, a thorough assessment of reliability is required. Testing software reliability is important because it is of great use for software managers and ...
2.0 Overview of Software Reliability Growth (Estimation) Models Software reliability growth (or estimation) models use failure data from testing to forecast the failure rate or MTBF into the future. The models depend on the assumptions about the fault rate during testing which can either be increasing, peaking, decreasing or some combination of ...
Risk-based testing (RBT) is a type of software testing that functions as an organizational principle used to prioritize the tests of features and functions in software, based on the risk of failure, the function of their importance and likelihood or impact of failure. [1] [2] [3] In theory, there are an infinite number of possible tests.
Load testing is the simplest form of performance testing. A load test is usually conducted to understand the behavior of the system under a specific expected load. This load can be the expected concurrent number of users on the application performing a specific number of transactions within the set duration.
Test money (or test notes, test bills, funny money, Monopoly money) is part of the apparatus often used when testing currency handling equipment such as automatic teller machines. Although testing with real banknotes or coins is often desirable, their financial value means security procedures must be set up for the tests.
Metamorphic testing (MT) is a property-based software testing technique, which can be an effective approach for addressing the test oracle problem and test case generation problem. The test oracle problem is the difficulty of determining the expected outcomes of selected test cases or to determine whether the actual outputs agree with the ...
In computing, stress testing (sometimes called torture testing) can be applied to either hardware or software. It is used to determine the maximum capability of a computer system and is often used for purposes such as scaling for production use and ensuring reliability and stability. [ 1 ]
In software engineering and development, a software metric is a standard of measure of a degree to which a software system or process possesses some property. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Even if a metric is not a measurement (metrics are functions, while measurements are the numbers obtained by the application of metrics), often the two terms are used as synonyms.
