Determination of Optimal Software Release Time Based on Number of Errors

소프트웨어 오류개수에 근거한 최적 출시시점 결정

In this paper, a software release model is presented to determine the optimum testing time with consideration of software error type. The software errors are classified into two types, major and minor errors. The software testing is continued until the Nth major error is discovered and corrected. The total cost needed before and after testing time is modeled under nonhomogeneous Poisson error correction model. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the results.
