Defects in infrastructure as code (IaC) scripts can have serious consequences, for example,
creating large-scale system outages. A taxonomy of IaC defects can be useful for …

The impact of software bugs on today's system failures is of primary concern. Many bugs are
detected and removed during testing, while others do not show up easily at development …

[Context] Software projects must consider the selection of testing techniques and criteria
during their life cycles. This practice increases the chances of testing activity to be …

Context: The dire consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced development of
COVID-19 software ie, software used for analysis and mitigation of COVID-19. Bugs in …

In software reliability assessment, one problem of interest is how to minimize the variance of
reliability estimator, which is often considered as an optimization goal. The basic idea is that …

Testing software to assess or improve reliability presents several practical challenges.
Conventional operational testing is a fundamental strategy that simulates the real usage of …

Defect prediction is a well-established research area in software engineering. Prediction
models in the literature do not predict defect-prone modules in different test phases. We …

Testing resource allocation is the problem of planning the assignment of resources to testing
activities of software components so as to achieve a target goal under given constraints …

Assessing reliability of software programs during validation is a challenging task for
engineers. The assessment is not only required to be unbiased, but it needs to provide tight …
