Automatic Identification of Change Points for the System Testing Process

The application of the CDM model has proven to be effective and accurate. The piecewise approximation used relies on the proper identification of re-calibration points. These points are identified based on the observation of the testing process. However, not all change points are easily identifiable. In this paper, we present a new technique for the automatic identification of change points which increases the applicability and accuracy of ´the CDM model. In addition, identification of change points can also be used to increase the understanding of the general behavior of a testing process by providing an expected signature for future projects
