Abstract:
An empirical analysis of failures in software
systems is used to evaluate several specific issues and questions in
software testing, reliability analysis, and reuse. The issues
examined include the following: diminishing marginal returns of
testing; effectiveness of multiple fault-detection and testing
phases; measuring system reliability versus function or component
reliability; developer bias regarding the amount of testing that
functions or components will receive; fault-proneness of reused
versus newly developed software; and the relationship between degree
of reuse and development effort and fault-proneness. Failure data
from a large software manufacturer and a NASA production environment
were collected and analyzed
