Exponential Cost of Traditional Assessment.

The article reports on software evaluation. It presents an example of software assessment using probability. It declares that the problem of requiring exponential resources to evaluate software cannot be solved using more informed evaluation method. It cites the fact that the state-space explosion p...

Sumario:The article reports on software evaluation. It presents an example of software assessment using probability. It declares that the problem of requiring exponential resources to evaluate software cannot be solved using more informed evaluation method. It cites the fact that the state-space explosion problem lays strict limits on how much one can explore a system through automatic formal methods. It reveals the difficulty and exponential cost of traditional assessment of software by citing the contributions of Bojan Cukic.
