Artificial Neural Networks Application in Software Testing Selection Method
Abstract
The importance of software testing is growing as a concurrent part of software development. In order to improve the financial allocation of the software testing, software developers have to make a choice between automatic and manual testing methods. The solution related to the problematic choice of testing methods is presented in this paper. The method used for testing method selection is based on the application of artificial neural networks (ANN). In the paper the main idea of the method and its appliance possibilities are introduced. Experimental investigations on ANN structure selection and method evaluation are also presented in this paper.
