Crowd testing process-based automatic prediction method for crowd testing task closing time

Abstract

The invention provides a crowd test process-based automatic prediction method for crowd test task closing time, which comprises the steps of monitoring a crowd test process, and collecting a crowd test report according to a time sequence; automatically evaluating term coverage required by a public test task, and judging whether the term coverage meets a set threshold value or not; taking the specific number of public test reports as an incremental sampling group; automatically detecting the repeatability between the public test reports; based on repeatability among the public test reports, obtaining a defect arrival trend taking an incremental sampling group as a unit, predicting the number of defects contained in tested software by adopting a capture-recapture method, if the number of discovered defects is the same as the number of predicted defects and the term coverage degree is met, taking the current time as the closing time of the task, and otherwise, continuing to monitor the public test process. The crowd testing process is monitored in real time, and the proper crowd testing task closing time is predicted, so that the testing sufficiency is ensured, and the crowd testingcost can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of computer technology, and relates to software testing technology, especially crowdsourcing software testing (referred to as crowdtesting), which is used to manage the crowdtesting process, monitor the crowdtesting process in real time, predict the appropriate closing time of crowdtesting tasks, and ensure the testing Sufficiency reduces the cost of public testing, and it is an automatic prediction method for closing time of public testing tasks based on the public testing process. Background technique [0002] Crowdtesting means that before the software is officially released, the software company releases the test tasks to the crowdtesting platform on the Internet, and the crowdtesters on the platform perform the test and submit the crowdtesting report. Because software errors will lead to user loss and economic loss, crowd testing technology is widely used in the current software development or update process of I...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In order to deal with the impact of these differences, managers tend to set very large thresholds (such as task cycle, participants), which makes the crowd testing process very inefficient and wastes a lot of cost. Later stage, no or very few defects found

[0005] Therefore, managers are faced with great challenges on how to manage the crowd testing process and when to close the crowd testing task in order to reduce the cost of crowd testing and ensure the adequacy of testing
