Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To enable evaluation of effectiveness of test strategies based on software bug prediction, we formalized the problem of test strategies as a nonlinear optimization problem; and then, we showed that the problem can be solved as a separable convex problem. Next, as the bug prediction inherently contain errors, we proposed and evaluated a method that combines test strategies not using bug prediction. Then, to clarify the context where bug prediction become effective, we proposed a method to estimate the maximum amount of reducible test effort by bug prediction. From these achievements, practitioners are able to estimate the expected reducible test effort, which will promote employing bug prediction in industry.
