Other features and advantages of the present invention will illustrate in the following description, and, becoming from description of part Obtain it is clear that or understand by implementing the present invention.The purpose of the present invention and other advantages can be by being write Structure specifically noted in description, claims and accompanying drawing realizes and obtains.
Accompanying drawing explanation
Fig. 1 is the schematic flow sheet of method described in the embodiment of the present invention.
Detailed description of the invention
Specifically describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein, accompanying drawing constitutes the application part, And together with embodiments of the present invention for explaining the principle of the present invention.
As it is shown in figure 1, Fig. 1 is the schematic flow sheet of method described in the embodiment of the present invention, specifically can include walking as follows Rapid:
Step 101: be analyzed test feature from multiple angles, measure test feature, obtains including all Measurement results such as the following aspects:
Code coverage, demand coverage rate, the code coverage of consideration complexity density, the survey of consideration complexity density Try out and between number of cases mesh, test phase, between test case number of variations and test phase, increase failure number newly.
Step 102: calculate reliability index, and according to reliability index and test feature measurement results, structure can Regression model by property index with test feature tolerance.That is, intend using Maximum-likelihood estimation or least-squares estimation to soft The unknown parameter of part reliability model (such as Schneidewind) carries out point estimation, thus by software reliability model meter Calculate the estimation of corresponding reliability index, then use the method for recurrence to measure with test feature to describe reliability index Between relation, set up corresponding regression model.
The reliability index that the present invention pays close attention to includes: crash rate, reliability, mean time to failure (MTTF), Mean time between failures (MTBF) and 5 reliability indexs of crash rate rate of change.Crash rate reflection software is in unit Failure probability in time, reliability reflect that software failure probability within a period of time, reliability growth reflection are reliable Property at the growth of a period of time, the reflection crash rate change within a period of time of crash rate rate of change, MTTF and MTBF The time interval attribute that reflection was lost efficacy.Each reliability index has clear and definite computing formula, and its core is to estimate model Parameter, once obtain corresponding model parameter estimation, it is possible to direct basis formula estimates corresponding software can By property index.
5 reliability indexs be specifically defined and computational methods are as follows:
1) crash rate: crash rate pays close attention to software system failure probability within the unit interval, generally represents with λ. Crash rate is the most relevant with time t, and crash rate changes in time, the change of reflection reliability.General definable ForWherein R (t) is reliability function, and i.e. before t, system runs the probability occurring without inefficacy, F (t) is failure dense function,
2) reliability: the attention location system degree of reliability within a period of time, i.e. R (t).If t is beyond given The time range of multistage test data, the most referred to as predicting reliability, the most referred to as test phase reliability.This project Because paying close attention to the reliability status analysis not carrying out section plane test, the reliability in Main Analysis test phase.
3) mean time to failure: software starts first average time lost efficacy occur from operation, is abbreviated as MTTF, Also may be interpreted as the expected time that software system no-failure runs.If R (t) is continuous function, then
4) mean time between failures: although many times losing efficacy occurs in running software, but still can keep certain Duty.Mean time between failures pays close attention to the equispaced that software system is in operation between twice inefficacy of appearance Time, it is expressed as MTBF.In practice, crash rate, MTTF and MTBF both can be directly by fail data degree of carrying out Amount, it is also possible to estimated by selected reliability model.
5) crash rate rate of change: focus on the situation over time that lost efficacy in software running process, mathematically come Say the derivative corresponding to λ (t).Practice can be passed throughCalculate, λ (t1) and λ (t2) respectively For t1And t2The crash rate in moment..
From definition above it can be seen that there is certain derivation relation between reliability index, if obtaining reliable Degree, then mean time to failure can directly be tried to achieve by integration.Thus obtain one of them reliability index is put After letter interval estimation, the confidence interval of other indexs also can be obtained by corresponding derivation relation.
Reliability index, x is represented with y1~xpRepresent that such as code coverage, demand coverage rate, complexity add respectively The test case number of the code coverage of power, complexity density weighting, test case number of variations, newly-increased failure number etc. Test feature factor.Firstly the need of determining which kind of curve to describe y and x withi(i=1 ..., relation p).If assume y with xiBetween be linear relationship, then the regression model obtained is multiple linear regression model, and primitive form is Y=β01x12x23x3+...+βpxp+ε;If using exponential curve to describe y and x1Relation, and use Straight line describes y and other xi(i=2 ..., relation p), then the regression model primitive form obtained isThis shows with different curves describe y with xi(i=1 ..., relation p), different regression models will be obtained.In order to solve this problem, we to investigate certainly Variable xiWith the domain knowledge background of y, if according to domain background still cannot determine use which kind of curve x is describedi With y, then can be according to y about xiScatterplot carry out the curve type that selected shape is close.
After determining the primitive form of regression model, need to check independent variable the most notable on the impact of y, retain impact Significantly independent variable, the method solving this problem can be sum of squares of partial regression or partial F test.
1) sum of squares of partial regression
Regression sum of square U is the contribution to the total variance of y of all independent variables.If rejecting a variable, then return flat Side and will reduce, the contribution of numerical value this variable of the biggest explanation of minimizing is the biggest.We are eliminating independent variable xiRear time Return the numerical value U that quadratic sum U is reducediIt is referred to as variable xiSum of squares of partial regression.
If former regression equation is y=β01x1+…+βi-1xi-1ixii+1xi+1+…+βpxp, remove variable xiAfter The new regression model obtained is y=β01x1+…+βi-1xi-1i+1xi+1+…+βpxp, new regression model is called former Regression model subtract model, former regression model is called full model.Wherein, βiIt is the coefficient of regression model independent variable, i=1 To 6, x represents that independent variable, y represent dependent variable.
Calculate the regression sum of square U of full model respectively and subtract the regression sum of square U of modeli', thus obtain Ui=U-Ui′.After obtaining the sum of squares of partial regression that each independent variable is corresponding, each factor can be compared to whole recurrence The size of effect contribution, in order to little person will be contributed to reject.
2) partial F test
If the multiple correlation coefficient of full model square is R2, subtract model multiple correlation coefficient square beDefinitionDue to independent variable x many in full modeliIf, soAlmost nil explanation xiY is not had Have a significant impact.Therefore, here it is null hypothesisWork as H0For true time, inspection system Metering isFor given level of significance α, sample value calculate Go out FiValue, if Fi≥F1-α(1, n-m-1), then refuse H0, i.e.Significantly being not zero, this illustrates xiY is had aobvious Write impact, x should be added in subtracting modeliIt is allowed to referred to as full model.If Fi< F1-α(1, n-m-1), then accept H0, I.e.Being significantly zero, this illustrates xiNot notable on y impact, x should be rejected in full modeli, it is allowed to be referred to as subtracting model. Wherein, n represents sample size number, and m represents independent variable number.
Step 103: according to the regression model of reliability index with test feature tolerance, reliability index is carried out interval Estimate.Obtaining after the regression model of test feature tolerance and reliability index, on the basis of regression analysis Reliability index is estimated confidence interval by the actual features of contact multistage test.
Owing to test the defect finding and repairing is a part for software all defect, the fail data that test obtains It it is an observation sample of out-of-service sequence all to software.Based on the parameter estimation result obtained by this sample not necessarily with Software truth is consistent, and therefore the present invention is by the basis of the reliability index estimated, utilizes test feature to measure Result carries out Estimating Confidence Interval to reliability index, and target is to obtain following reliability index result:WhereinFor the estimated result of certain reliability index (such as MTTF), r is that software is true Real reliability index result (although unknown, but exist), 1-α is confidence level, and w is confidence interval length. The present invention is concerned with how to obtain the confidence interval of the confidence level for regulation.
Software test and Reliability Practice experience have shown that, test feature concentrated expression can test effect, such as test feature In coverage rate factor can reflect and test for the coverage condition of tested software, coverage rate is the highest, then in testing Later observations to invalid cost and trend just use the inefficacy being likely to occur to be more nearly in the future with software, thus based on The reliability index estimated result that corresponding test data obtain just with achieved reliability index closer to.
This shows that test feature can assist in length w of the confidence interval of reliability index to a certain extent.This Invention plan first passes through regression model and builds the relation between test feature tolerance and reliability index, then passes through back Model is returned to provide the confidence interval of reliability index estimated value.
Assume to represent reliability index, x with y1~xpRepresent that code coverage, demand coverage rate, complexity add respectively The test case number of the code coverage of power, complexity density weighting, test case number of variations, newly-increased failure number etc. Test feature factor.Assume that the regression model obtained is y=β01x12x23x3+...+βpxp+ ε, if false If different phase reliability index estimated value is separate, then deviation ε Normal Distribution.
In order to utilize regression equation to forecast, providing x1,x2,…,xpA class value x01,x02,…,x0pTime, note x0=(1, x01,x02,…,x0p) ', obtains y0=x '0β+ε0, E (ε0)=0, Var (ε0)=σ2And y0Predictive valueWherein, E (X) represents the average of X, and Var (X) represents the side of X Difference, σ2For the variance of standard normal distribution, x '0Represent x0Transposition, E () represents and takes average, and Var () represents Take variance;
