Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a generic cost function, which incorporates failure cost as a quality measure. Simple and fast solution algorithms are presented to help managers to make best decisions. Proposed model helps the project managers to determine the amount of tests required by each module before actual testing begins. The purpose of this paper is to formulate the optimization problems which software managers face and to propose simple and fast solution procedures to handle them
