Automated Software Testing for Reliable System Development

Abstract

This paper presents an automated model that uses different metrics to estimate the reliability of software systems. Normally, the reliability of software systems is focused on engineering techniques for developing and maintaining software systems whose quality is obviously felt through the system performance and automated testing systems serve as essential tools for the sustenance of the needed reliability in software development. The proposed model was designed using software testing principles and object oriented analysis and methodology. This was aimed at maintaining one important aspect of ensuring reliability - being able to measure and predict the system's reliability accurately. The model estimates the reliability of given software systems using the context of execution speed and accuracy, exposing the beneficial effect of reliability assessment such as early fault detection and customer satisfaction.
