Chapter Chapter 11 in Software Reliability Assessment with OR Applications, 2011, pp 405-449 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract As mentioned in previous chapter reliability, scheduled delivery and cost are the three main quality attributes for almost all software. By determining the release time of the software optimally taking into consideration the various constraints and aspects of the software enables to best achieve these objectives. Many a time in the software release time problems we have seen keeping the cost minimization objective alone may leave us with a solution that the reliability achieved is low. On the other hand reliability maximization objective alone may require large budget. The two objectives simultaneously are conflicting and demand bounds on budget and achievable reliability. The release time problem by no means controls the consumption of the testing resources. The total software-testing cost as well as reliability depends largely on the consumption of the testing resources during the testing process.
