Q. Equivalence class partitioning approach is used to divide the input domain into a set of equivalence classes, so that if a program works correctly for a value, then it will work correctly for all the other values in that class. This is used .................

Q. The failure intensity for a basic model as a function of failures experienced is given as λ(μ)-λ0[1 – (μ)/(V0)] where λ0 is the initial failure intensity at the start of the execution, μ is the average or expected number of failures at a given point in time, the quantity V0 is the total number of failures that would occur in infinite time.
Assume that a program will experience 100 failures in infinite time, the initial failure intensity was 10 failures/CPU hr. Then the decrement of failures intensity per failure will be

Q. The Software Maturity Index (SMI) is defined as

SMI = [Mf – (Fa + Fc + Fd)] / Mf

Where
Mf = the number of modules in the current release.
Fa = the number of modules in the current release that have been added.
Fc = the number of modules in the current release that have been changed.
Fd = the number of modules in the current release that have been deleted.
