An Estimation Problem in Software Reliability
Stochastic models are being used in software testing to support decision making, e.g. by predicting the required additional testing effort to achieve a certain quality level. Most models used in practice can be described as an order statistics process or a Nonhomogeneous Poisson process.
In this talk we will give a brief introduction to these models and point out some issues in using these models. In particular, we will state an estimation problem that arises from the practical interpretation of applying these models to software testing. This problem is either ignored or an ad-hoc solution. The audience is invited to contribute to this estimation problem.
