Abstract Optimal release policies for software systems are discussed maximizing expected gain and simultaneously achieving a given level of failure intensity incorporating the effect of testing effort expenditure. The software error detection phenomenon in the software testing is modelled by a non-homogeneous Poisson process. Testing effort expenditures sire assumed to be described by testing effort curves. Assuming a particular form for the testing effort curve a numerical example is presented.
