Title: Bayesian Software Release Strategies
Author(s): Refik Soyer*+
Companies: George Washington University
Address: Department of Management Science, Washington, DC, 22315,
Keywords: software reliability ; decision analysis ; optimal testing
Abstract:

We address the problem of how to terminate the testing and release the software during the development phase. In so doing, we present a Bayesian decision theoretic approach and develop Monte-Carlo-based methodologies that replace the preposterior analysis by surface fitting methods. We illustrate our approach by considering single and two-period problems.
