Summary :

In this paper, we develop an effective smoothing technique to estimate the optimal software release schedule which minimizes the total software cost. The optimal software release problem is essentially reduced to a statistical estimation problem for the software failure rate, but the resulting estimator based on both the fault-detection time data observed in testing phase and its estimate in future is discontinuous and does not always function well for determining the optimal release schedule. We estimate the smoothed software failure rate using the usual quadratic programming approach and generate the optimal software release schedule with higher accuracy.
