An Example of Software Validation Using a Factorial Design,

Abstract

This paper reports on the effects of the Department of Energy to test and evaluate, validate, a large computer model, which represents the world petroleum distribution system. The evaluation technique employed is a complete 2 to the 4th power factorial design. The main effects, as well as all 2nd order effects are estimated. The technique provided criterial insights into the nature of the software identifying errors and assisting in the development, of a methodology, for reexamining candidate crude mixes, of oil stored by the government, for use during possible petroleum interruptions.
