Abstract

Software systems are becoming increasingly more complex and testing it to a reliable system requires a great deal of effort. Statistical testing promises a solution to this increased testing burden and gives the opportunity to have statistical inferences like reliability, mean time to failure etc. Today there are hundreds of reliability models with more models developed every year. Still there does not exist any model that can be applied in all cases. In this paper we present the feasibility of applying statistical testing based on Markov chain usage model to database based application software and show that statistical testing gives better reliability assessment than random testing.
