A Novel Method for Allocating Software Test Cases

Operational Profile is found to be an important technique for critical fault removal .Software Operational Profile (SOP) plays a vital role in reliability estimation, quality valuation, performance analysis and test case allocation of software. However, some problems are detected by software experts with the development of SOP as data resources are very limited and large effort is required to convert gathered data into point estimate. Also uncertainty is involved with SOP as it often changes during operational phase. Software operational profile plays a crucial role in improving the software quality. Therefore, in this paper, software test case allocation using fuzzy logic based on operational profile based is proposed and it takes usage data in terms of linguistic variable. The model is validated with the existing literature. Validation result is satisfactory.
