We propose a method to determine how to sequentially allocate test cases among partitions
of the software to minimize the expected loss incurred by the Bayes estimator of the overall …

The reliability estimation of a series system in which the component reliabilities are unknown
is considered. The optimal sampling scheme depends on parameters that are typically …

We propose an efficient sampling scheme in the software reliability estimation. In contrast to
fixed sampling schemes, where the proportion of test cases taken from each partition is …

In any non-trivial software system, reliability cannot be determined exactly. Instead, we must
apply statistical methods to create an estimate based on a sample of test cases. This …

We present a method to determine how to allocate any non-trivial software test cases among
partitions of the software so as to minimize the expected loss incurred by the Bayes …

Any software system of non-trivial size cannot be easily and completely tested because the
domain of all possible inputs is complex and very large. In this study, we use a technique …

Presented here is a Bayesian approach to test case allocation in the software reliability
estimation. Bayesian analysis allows us to update our beliefs about the reliability of a …

In this paper, we compare two-stage sequential sampling scheme with fully sequential
sampling scheme to test software and estimate reliability. In two-stage sampling scheme …

For any non-trivial system, it is impossible to reach the exact reliability of software due to the
complexity, cost, and time required to complete the testing. Instead, a sample of test cases …

The area of computer engineering, where the objective of the engineer is to find the best
estimated reliability for the system that he/she has designed, is the topic of this dissertation …
