Abstract

This chapter incorporates the fault introduction process and the testing resource allocation into the modeling of software fault detection and correction processes. Several paired models for fault detection process and fault correction process are constructed by considering different assumptions of correction effort. The applications of the models are illustrated with real dataset, and the optimal software release time is studied.
