Method for computer-aided selection of software methods, for example software test methods

摘要

The method involves selection of boundary conditions by the user from those presented on a screen by a computer. Using the boundary conditions and a rule base describing the suitability of different software methods wrt. different boundary conditions, at least one software method suitable for the boundary conditions is selected and displayed by the computer. The method can be implemented using fuzzy logic. The boundary conditions can be described by technical boundary conditions, as aims or constraints, and can be associated with different degrees of significance. The degrees of significance can be associated with aims in pairs and can be subjected to consistency checking.
