Abstract

Software release is highly dependent upon the quality of the product which must be met by the product before software release. Software product quality outcome will be good if modeling of test process is good. In Software test process model large numbers of state variables exist which can affect the entire software testing process. This paper introduces various state variables for improving the software test process. By introducing as many state variables, definitely we can enhance the overall quality of testing process which ultimately will enhance the quality of software product. This paper proposes an algorithm focus upon the use of the state variables along with the control based system for the software testing process. Combine concept of controls based system and state variables provide the power of identifying the remaining number of errors at any point of time. Proposed algorithm uses the concept of the feedback system and related work to [9] [10] [12] [13] with additional state variables to model an efficient software testing process.
