METRICS AND OPTIMIZATION CRITERIA, AND EVALUATION PROCESSES OF SOFTWARE TESTING (ON THE EXAMPLE OF MOBILE APPLICATIONS)

The article analyzes the processes of development and testing of mobile applications. The metric of testing mobile applications and the corresponding criterion of completeness of testing was offered. The integral criterion of optimization of the testing process, based on the concept of an iterative scheme of the development as the amount of incoming processes was proposed. The assumption about the effectiveness of the prototype approach to testing was made and justified, and a special criterion for optimizing the testing process of mobile applications was proposed. The mathematical model of the particular criterion was developed on the basis of properties of various algebraic expressions. Numerical results of application of integral and particular criteria of efficiency of mobile applications testing process are considered.
