Optimal Time Intervals for Testing Hypothesis on Computer Software Errors.

Abstract

In this paper we discuss certain stochastic aspects of the software reliability problem. We shall first discuss an empirical stopping note for debugging and testing computer software. We shall next present some results on choosing a time interval for testing the hypothesis that a software system contains no errors, given certain cost and risk constraints. (Author)
