managing the uncertainties of software testing A bayesian approach

摘要

Testing of software systems involves many complex problems for test managers. Important issues to be considered include how to quantify reliability, how to design tests, which tests should be performed given time, cost and resource constraints, what are the implications of test failures, what tests should be re-run following corrections to rectify faults, and so forth. All of these issues are related to the uncertainties involved in the quality of the software and the process of testing.
