Risk decision approach to test allocation problem in partition testing
划分测试用例选择的风险决策方法*

This paper investigated the problem of determining the test allocation when a particular partitioning scheme had been chosen. This paper showed that this problem could be formulated as a risk decision problem of decision-making under uncertainty, and proposed a expected risk criteria to resolve this kind of problem. Presented an algorithm that solve the test allocation problem based on this criterion, and evaluated this criterion by means of a simulation experiment. The experimental results by Monte Carlo method greatly help us to identify this method is consistently better than the other test case allocation criteria.
