Abstract
A lot of development resources are consumed during the software testing phase fundamentally consisting of module testing, integration, testing and system testing. Then, it is of great importance for a manager to decide how to effectively spend testing-resources on software testing for developing a quality and reliable software. In this paper, we consider two kinds of software testing-resource allocation problems to make the best use of the specified testing-resources during module testing. Also, we introduce a software reliability growth model for describing the time-dependent behavior of detected software faults and testing-resource expenditures spent during the testing, which is based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process. It is shown that the optimal allocation of testing-resources among software modules can improve software reliability.
