ENERGY OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM FOR COMPONENT-BASED TEST BASED ON SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE.

To generate efficient and low-energy software test case and by combination of UML model and component information, the paper has put forward a component-based energy consumption test case to distribute component test quantity in software systems. This allocation method takes into account system structural features and relationship between the test quantity required by each system component and reliability which can be achieved. Therefore, when achieving the certain target value of system reliability, the total test quantity required will be the minimum. Meanwhile, by combining with the importance degree of software architecture angle to system, visiting rate of component and difficulty degree of improving component reliability, the test quantity can be effectively allocated. In a simulation, we adopt two models to simulate the relationship between component test quantity and reliability. In two models, when structural optimization method achieves certain reliability value, it will require less test quantity than the quantity required in equal allocation strategy and experts' experience. Therefore, this is a more effective test quantity allocation strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
