Abstract

A software organization can obtain benefits from testing only when testing time is optimized and components of greater priorities are tested much rigorously. Critical errors, if remain undetected during testing can result in loss of revenues and goodwill for the organization. In this paper, we present a cumulative priority based model for determining the optimal testing period. Here we provide a Non Homogenous Poisson Process based model to help organizations achieve optimum software testing with minimal time and money loss.

Priority queues with batch Poisson arrivals

This paper studies batch arrival M^X/G/1 priority queues without and with (multiple or single) vacations. Applying the delay busy cycle analysis, we explicity derive the Laplace-Stieltjes transforms and the first two moments of the waiting time ...
A polling model with multiple priority levels

In this paper we consider a single-server cyclic polling system. Between visits to successive queues, the server is delayed by a random switch-over time. The order in which customers are served in each queue is determined by a priority level that is ...
A Two-Queue Polling Model with Two Priority Levels in the First Queue

In this paper we consider a single-server cyclic polling system consisting of two queues. Between visits to successive queues, the server is delayed by a random switch-over time. Two types of customers arrive at the first queue: high and low priority ...
