Abstract:

Considering that the objectivity of software credibility measurement model is not strong, we present a testingbased software credibility measurement and assessment model, which uses software testing process data as the credible evidence. In the model, the key credible attributes of the software testing process are selected and quantitatively measured according to the software test procedure and the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for software.Finally,the dispersive confidence indexes are fused by the Dempster/Shafer (D-S ) evidence theory,and the software credibility is achieved.Classical examples show that the model is effective in software credibility measurement.Key words:
