Abstract:


In software development life cycle (SDLC) testing is very important step. One of the key elements of software quality is testing. Fault detection and removal process is also very important when we are doing testing. In the last 30 years numerous software reliability growth models where developed for fault detection and correction process. Majority of models where developed under static condition. The main goal of this article is to examine the resource allocation plan for fault detection and correction process of the software to control the cost during testing and operational phase. For achieving this we developed a model for fault detection and correction process. For solving this model we use Pontryagain’s Maximum principle. For optimally resource allocation we use Differential Evolution (DE). Differential Evolution (DE) is an optimization algorithm. A numerical example is also explained for resource allocation for fault detection and removal process.
