Architecture-Guided Test Resource Allocation Via Logic

Software Engineering 2021-07-26 v1

Abstract

We introduce a new logic named Quantitative Confidence Logic (QCL) that quantifies the level of confidence one has in the conclusion of a proof. By translating a fault tree representing a system's architecture to a proof, we show how to use QCL to give a solution to the test resource allocation problem that takes the given architecture into account. We implemented a tool called Astrahl and compared our results to other testing resource allocation strategies.
