Proceedings of the First Southern Symposium on ComputingThe University of Southern Mississippi, December 4-5, 1998NEAR-CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS: A TOOL FOR PARALLEL PROGRAM OPTIMIZATION CEDELL A. ALEXANDER*, ARIC B. LAMBERT†, DONNA S. REESE†,JAMES C. HARDEN†AND RON B. BRIGHTWELL‡Abstract. Program activity graphs (PAGs) can be constructed from timestamped traces of appropriate execution events. Information about the activities on the k longest execution paths is useful in the analysis of parallel program performance. In this paper, four algorithms for finding the near-critical paths of PAGs are compared. A framework for using the near-critical path information is also described. The framework includes statistical summaries and visualization capabilities that build upon the foundation of existing performance analysis tools. Within the framework, guidance is provided by the Maximum Benefit Metric, which uses near-critical path data to predict the maximum overall performance improvement that may be realized by optimizing particular critical path activities.1.Introduction. Developing efficient parallel programs has proven to be a difficult task. Substantial research has been devoted to many aspects of the problem; active work spans the computer science spectrum from algorithmic techniques, programming paradigms, advanced compilers, and operating systems to architectures and interconnection networks. Complex interactions at each of these levels have provided motivation for a suite of performance measurement and analysis tools.Insight into a system's dynamic behavior is a prerequisite for high-productivity optimization of parallel programs. Multiple tools, offering varying perspectives, may be required to gain the necessary insight. The IPS Parallel Program Measurement System [1] and the Pablo Performance Analysis Environment [2] are two significant toolkits facilitating different viewpoints based on timestamped probe descriptions of run-time events.IPS provides a hierarchy of statistical information based on a five layer model consisting of the whole program, machine, process, procedure, and primitive activity levels. Critical path and phase behavior analysis techniques guide the search for performance problems. Critical path analysis focuses the optimization effort by identifying the activities on the longest execution path; to improve the program's performance, the duration of activities on the critical path(s) must be shortened.Pablo is a visualization and sonification toolkit designed to be a de facto standard through a philosophy of portability, scalability, and extensibility. Custom performance analysis environments are constructed by graphically interconnecting a set of analysis and display modules. The graphical programming model encourages experimental exploration of the performance data.The utility of critical path analysis can be extended when information is available about the k longest paths. Optimization of specific critical path activities may provide little overall performance improvement if the second, third, etc., longest paths are of similar duration and consist of independent activities. Near-critical paths can be used to further refine the analysis process by quantifying the benefit of optimizing critical path activities. The initial focus of this paper is on efficient algorithms for determining the near-critical paths of program activity graphs. Efficient algorithms are important because program activity graphs can be very large (hundreds of thousands of vertices).We also present a framework for using near-critical path data that encompasses both statistical summaries (patterned after IPS) and the visualization capabilities of Pablo. Guidance is provided by the Maximum Benefit Metric, which includes the synergistic effects of common activities on near-critical paths *IBM's Networking Hardware Division, P.O.

Probe acquisition and construction of program activity graphs are discussed in Section 4. A framework for near-critical path analysis is presented in Section 5. Section 6 contains the description of the applications and performance results from the Maximum Benefit Metric. The paper is concluded in Section 7 with a summary of key results.2. Critical Path Algorithms.2.1. Program Activity Graphs. A program activity graph (PAG) is an acyclic, directed multigraph representing the duration and precedence relationships of program activities. Edges represent execution activities, weights represent activity durations, vertices mark activity boundaries, and outgoing activities from a vertex cannot begin until all incoming activities have completed. Multigraphs are distinguished by multiple edges between a given pair of vertices. Although not all PAGs are multigraphs, generality requires that near-critical path algorithms accommodate multigraphs (PAG characteristics are determined by the semantics of the target system). The biggest impact of the multigraph characteristic is on data structure selection.2.2. Longest Path Algorithm. IPS employs a modified shortest path algorithm, based on the diffusing computation paradigm [3], to find the path with the longest execution duration. A diffusing computation on a graph begins at the root vertices and diffuses to all descendant vertices. In the synchronous variation, a vertex will not diffuse a computation to its descendants until all incoming computations are received. A version of the synchronous algorithm with adaptations to accommodate multigraphs is given in [4].2.3. Critical Path Method. The critical path method is an operational research algorithm for finding the longest path(s) through an activity-on-edge network [5]. The critical path method calculates early start and earl) finish times for each activity in a forward pass through the network. Late start times, late finish times, and slack values are calculated in a backward pass. Table 1 defines the terms that will be used to explain the algorithm.T ABLE1. Critical Path Method NotationThe early start time of an activity is the earliest possible time the activity can begin. The late start time of an activity is the latest time the activity can start without extending the overall network completion time. The slack values are criticality measures. The total slack of an activity is the amount of time that it can be delayed without affecting the overall completion time. Activities with zero total slack are on a critical path. The free slack of an activity is the amount of time the activity can be delayed without affecting the early start time of any other activity. The total slack values of activities on a path are not independent; delaying an activity longer than its free slack reduces the slack of subsequent activities. The values calculated by the critical path method for a simple example network are shown in Fig. 1.2.4. Algorithm Comparison. The longest path algorithm is more efficient than the critical path method (since the longest path is found in a single pass through the edges). However, the critical path method produces more information; multiple critical paths are identified and the slack criticality measures are provided. Both algorithms have the same asymptotic time complexity, in 0(e), where e is the number of edges in the graph. Selection of the most appropriate algorithm is dependent upon application needs.NEAR-CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS: A TOOL FOR PARALLEL PROGRAM OPTIMIZATION 33. Near-Critical Path Algorithms.Definition 1: A near-critical path is a path whose duration is within a certain percentage, the near-criticality percentage, of the critical path duration. The near-criticality percentage (denoted nc%) may be specified by the user or reported by the algorithm. Three near-critical path algorithm approaches are summarized in the following list:1) Specify maximum number of longest paths to find, k , and report nc% of k th longest path,2) Specify nc% and find all near-critical paths.3) Specify both k and nc% (i.e., find up to k longest near-critical paths).In this section, four near-critical path algorithms are compared: the path enumeration and extended longest path algorithms are examples of approach 1); the branch-and-bound algorithm is based on approach2); and the best-first search algorithm employs approach 3). Approach 3) can be advantageous, relative to approach 1), when the number of near-critical paths is less than k .3.1. Path Enumeration and Extended Longest Path Algorithms. An algorithm for listing the k shortest paths between two vertices of an acyclic digraph is described in [6]. The algorithm can be easily modified to enumerate longest paths. For a multigraph containing n vertices and e edges, the worst-case time and memory requirements of the algorithm are in O(kne) and O(kn 2+e), respectively.A more straightforward approach is to simply extend the longest path algorithm to find the k longest paths as described in [4]. Since the extended algorithm maintains an array of k (fixed-size) path description records for each vertex, and a descriptor is required to represent each edge, the storage requirements are in O(kn+e). The worst-case time complexity of the algorithm is in 0(ke).3.2. Brunch-and-Bound Algorithm. Brute-force depth-first searches can solve the longest path problem in linear space; however, the time complexity is exponential [7]. Branch-and-bound (BnB) is a technique that may significantly improve the efficiency of depth-first searches by eliminating unproductive search paths [8]. In this subsection, we show how the slack values calculated by the critical path method can be used as the basis for a BnB near-critical path algorithm. The notation employed to explain the algorithm is defined in Table 2.To find the critical and near-critical paths, depth-first searches are started at the root vertices. A search is terminated when either a leaf vertex is reached or max_path_duration is less than min_ncp_duration. If a leaf vertex is reached, then a critical or near-critical path has been found (FS_sum = 0 for a critical path).F ig. 2.1. C ritic al path m ethod exam ple.F IG . 1. Critical path method example.4ALEXANDER, LAMBERT, REESE,HARDEN AND BRIGHTWELLT ABLE 2. Near-Critical Path NotationThe performance of the algorithm is highly dependent upon the input PAG. In the best case, the time complexity is in 0(1). If we optimistically assume that only one edge exists between any two vertices and that no vertex has more than two outgoing edges (which is true for the PAGs that we generate), the worst-case complexity, based on the number of edges that must be examined, is in 0(1.62n). When the critical path method is also included in the analysis, the best-case and worst-case time complexities are in 0(e) and 0(1.62n+e), respectively.3.3. Best-First Search Algorithm. The slack values provided by the critical path method can also be used as the basis for a best-first search (BFS) algorithm that traverses the k longest near-critical paths in order of nonincreasing duration. The algorithm begins by evaluating all outgoing edges from root vertices. The edge with minimum total slack is selected. The critical path method guarantees that at least one of these edges will be on a critical path and have zero total slack. Once a path has been selected, traversal is an iterative process of following the edge with minimum total slack at each descendant vertex. When a leaf vertex is reached, the next longest path is selected for traversal.Traditionally, the applicability of BFS has been limited by an exponential memory requirement [9]. The memory is needed to save the state of all partially explored paths so that optimal selections can be made. Slack values provide the information needed to overcome this limitation. Since slack is a global criticality measure, storage can be constrained to maintaining state for the k longest near-critical paths that have been found. To maintain this state information, partial paths encountered during near-critical path traversal must be evaluated. Partial paths are formed by edges that are not on the current near-critical path. Partial path evaluation is based on the cost function (FS_sum + TS), and state is maintained for the minimum cost near-critical paths.To minimize path evaluation overhead, path costs are maintained in a max-heap data structure. This allows direct access to the maximum cost partial path and a new (lower) maximum can be established in logarithmic time. To minimize the overhead of selecting the next longest path, path costs are also maintained in a min-heap. When the max-heap is modified by sifting down a new entry, the associated min-heap entry is percolated up to maintain the integrity of the dual heaps. Thus, the minimum cost partial path is always available at the top of the min-heap.Path state information is preserved in path_descriptor records. Pointers to the descriptors of edges on near-critical paths are recorded in path_entry records. Paths consist of two segments. The first segment of a path contains edges shared with the (parent) near-critical path that was being traversed when the partial path was formed. These edges begin at a root vertex. When a partial path is formed, information about the preceding segment is saved in the path_descriptor. This information includes a count indicating the number of edges on the first path segment, path_1_cnt, and a pointer to the path_descriptor of the parent path, path_1_p. The second path segment consists of a linked-list of path_entry records. The first path_entry record for the second path segment, path_2, is also contained in the path_descriptor. The second path segment is constructed during near-critical path traversal and terminates at a leaf vertex.A pointer to the path_entry record corresponding to the minimum cost path from a vertex is saved at the first visit to each vertex to allow additional path_entry record sharing. If, during near-critical path traversal, a vertex is reached that has already been visited by an earlier traversal, then all succeeding edges are shared with the earlier path. Duplicate path_entry records are required only when the same edge begins the second segment of near-critical paths, which can occur a maximum of k/2 times. Therefore, the worst-NEAR-CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS: A TOOL FOR PARALLEL PROGRAM OPTIMIZATION 5case memory requirement for the algorithm is in O(k+e). Fig. 1 provides an illustration of the path description data structures for the graph in Fig. 2.The worst-case time complexity of the algorithm is in 0(ke), with the dominant factor being that 0(e)edges may need to be examined during each of the k near-critical path traversals. A detailed analysis of the algorithm, along with proofs of correctness and worst-case optimality can be found in [10l (worst-case optimality is established in terms of both time and space for the problem of enumerating the k longest paths of acyclic, directed multigraphs).Algorithm Comparison. Asymptotic upper bounds on the worst-case time and memory requirements for the four near-critical path algorithms are summarized in Table 3.T ABLE 3. Worst-Case Complexities Of Near-Critical Path AlgorithmsOne advantage of the path enumeration algorithm is the capability to incrementally explore the next longest path until sufficient data is available, which is potentially useful in an interactive environment. The BFS algorithm can be used similarly, but is constrained to a maximum of k paths. Memory requirements limit the utility of the extended longest path algorithm. Uncertainty differentiates the BnB and BFS algorithms. With BnB, the uncertainty is associated with execution time; with BFS, the uncertainty is associated with the near-criticality percentage of the k th longest path. The significance of the BFS algorithm is in the combination of time and memory requirements.4. Probe Acquisition and PAG Construction.4.1. SuperMSPARC Multicomputer and Instrumentation System . The traces used in this study were collected with the instrumentation facilities of the SuperMSPARC multicomputer [11]. The SuperMSPARC is a 32-processor machine based on the SPARCstation 10 multiprocessor. There are eight SPARCstations, each of which contains four 90 MHz Ross hyperSPARC processors. SuperMSPARC has three types of interconnection communication networks: Ethernet, ATM, and Myrinet. Each node ispath 1(0,2,5)path 2(0,3,4,5)path 3(1,4,5)Fig. 3.1. BFS path description data struc tures.F IG . 2. BFS path description data structures.6ALEXANDER, LAMBERT, REESE,HARDEN AND BRIGHTWELLequipped with an intelligent performance monitor adapter that provides an interface to a separate data collection network.Hardware, software, and hybrid measurement systems have been used to record event traces. Hardware instrumentation is unobtrusive and delivers useful low-level information, but is costly and provides information with limited context. Software instrumentation is simple and flexible, but can perturb the execution characteristics of the program being measured. Hybrid measurement systems combine software with hardware support and provide an attractive compromise [12], The SuperMSPARC instrumentation system implements a hybrid approach. Special hardware on the performance monitor adapter collects and timestamps information written by software probes from the MPI environment. All processing of probes is done by the instrumentation processor, so the only obtrusiveness comes from the actual writing of the probe data, which has been measured to be ~2 microseconds per probe.The SuperMSPARC instrumentation system records performance data to disk for postmortem analysis.A global timestamp clock shared by the performance monitor adapters allows for a total ordering of events collected from all nodes. Recorded probes are converted to the Pablo Self-Defining Data Format (SDDF) for the purpose of PAG generation and visualization using a Pablo display.4.2. Message Passing Environment. The defacto message passing standard Message Passing Interface (MPI) was chosen as the vehicle for implementation of the construction of the PAG for near-critical path analysis. The MPI standard is independent of any particular machine architecture and allows the programmer to write portable programs that can be run without changes to the underlying communication protocol [13]. Since the most important events a performance monitoring systems needs to analyze are communication events, acquisition of probe information will be done primarily within the MPI function calls.An MPI probe library was designed with probe function calls placed at the beginning and end of each MPI function call. This allows a timestamp of the beginning and end of the MPI call to be taken so the interval of execution time of the function can be obtained. These probes were inserted by using the MPI profiling interface. The MPI profiling interface allows MPI function calls to be replaced by user-defined functions that can perform performance monitoring activities and then invoke the true MPI functions. The programmer can easily link the probe library with the application to obtain probe data without source code modification. Table 4 shows the types of MPI and additional probes that are implemented on the SuperMSPARC.T ABLE 4. SuperMSPARC Probe Types. MPI Routines Instrumented4.3.Construction of Program Activity Graphs. PAGs from a message passing environment contain one root vertex for each node involved in the program execution. All vertices have a single child exceptNEAR-CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS: A TOOL FOR PARALLEL PROGRAM OPTIMIZATION 7those that mark the beginning of a remote message being sent. These vertices could have two or more children. One child is associated with the following event on the same node, and the other children mark the ending of the associated receive edge on the destination node. The duration of the edge to the remote node is the difference between the end of message reception time at the destination node and the start of message transmission time at the source node, and thus takes into account effects such as network congestion. To construct PAGs, several types of probes must be matched (e.g. the beginning and ending of a receive call). However, the entire construction process, which is described in [4], can be performed in linear time. A sample PAG is shown in Fig. 3.5. Near-critical Path Analysis Framework. The output from the near-critical path program consists of a list of all the critical and near-critical paths found. Each path consists of a duration and an edge list.This information by itself is not meaningful to the user as the relationships between the edges listed and program activities are not known. In any case, a list of all the program activities on the near-critical paths would most likely contain too much information to be useful. Near-critical path analysis will attempt to provide both guidance through hierarchical summaries expressed in terms of logical events within the application program, and capabilities flexible enough to support detailed exploration of small-scale behavior.At the highest level, the critical paths are analyzed. Classical metrics such as computation and communication percentages is provided. Activities may be viewed from a processor perspective or broken down by function. Near-critical path activity classes are represented by a new performance metric that considers contributions across all paths found. The availability of near-critical path data permits prediction of the maximum performance improvement that may be achieved by optimizing a particular critical path activity. More importantly, the broader perspective allows guidance to be offered regarding the relative merits of tuning specific activities.The computation to communication ratio can be used to assess the appropriateness of the application decomposition. A high communications contribution to the critical path could indicate an inappropriate, or too finely grained decomposition. Near-critical path data can also be used as an architecture evaluation tool. A high communications contribution on all critical and near-critical paths can indicate that increased interconnection network performance would result in improved application performance.The availability of PAGs facilitates speculation about the effects of reducing the time associated with a particular activity. The availability of near-critical path data facilitates selection of the most promising activities for what ifscenarios. The analysis framework supports rapid experimentation by allowing theR ec eive M es s C om S end M es s C om eive M es s ageputation F ig. 4.1 S am ple program ac tivity graph.F IG . 3. Sample program activity graph.8ALEXANDER, LAMBERT, REESE,HARDEN AND BRIGHTWELLdurations of selected PAG activities to be adjusted. The potential effects are then quickly ascertained by analysis of the modified PAG. While near-critical path guidance is based on a limited number of paths, what if scenarios extend the analysis to all execution paths.Visualization complements the statistical perspective by revealing the dynamics of when performance determining activities occurred. Rather than attempt the impossible task of predicting and satisfying all potential visualization needs, we have opted to simply output Pablo SDDF records corresponding to critical and near-critical path activities. In this manner, the full capabilities of the Pablo environment may be invoked to explore critical and near-critical path activities from the most appropriate perspectives.The goal of performance debugging metrics is to rank the importance of improving specific program activities. Six parallel program performance metrics were compared in [14], and although no single metric was universally superior, the Critical Path Metric (CPM) provided the best overall guidance. CPM ranks activities according to the magnitude of their durations on the critical path. The Maximum Benefit Metric (MBM) is an extension of the Critical Path Metric that includes the synergistic effects of common activities on near-critical paths. The Maximum Benefit Metric for activity i over the k longest paths is computed as follows:MBM k(i) = min(d(i)j + (d cp - d j)), for j =i to k, whered(i)j = aggregate duration of activity i on j th longest path,d cp = duration of the critical path, andd j = duration of the j th longest path.Fig. 4 is a simple example that illustrates how optimizing the largest component on the critical path may not yield the most overall improvement. Unless all the paths are considered, which is usually not practical, the impact of the activities on the (k+l)th longest path are not known. Thus, the metric represents a prediction of the maximum overall benefit associated with particular critical path activities.Fig. 5 illustrates the aggregate MBMs for communication and computation activities of a parallel quicksort of 1000 integers. This information reveals additional clues to the application's characteristics and behavior. MBM information indicates the need to look at as many as 100 near-critical paths to help predict the actual optimization benefit that could be obtained by optimizing communication activities. Note that the actual benefit that can be achieved is much lower than what was deduced by the critical path.NEAR-CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS: A TOOL FOR PARALLEL PROGRAM OPTIMIZATION 9Once the MBMs over a set of near-critical paths have identified program activities of interest for optimization, what if scenarios can be used to recalculate the MBMs over all paths. This is accomplished by zeroing the duration of an operator in the PAG and recalculating the critical path. The MBM for activity i over all paths is computed as follows:MBM all (i) = d cp - d(i 0)cp ,where d(i 0)cp is the duration of the critical path with activity i zeroed, and d cp is the original critical path duration.6. Algorithms and Performance Results.6.1. Algorithms. Algorithm performance was assessed with PAGs from five application programs: an N-body simulation application (NBODY), a Monte Carlo application (MONTE), and a ray-tracing application (ZSNOOP). NBODY simulates the evolution of a system of N bodies where the force on each body arises due to its interaction with all other bodies in the system. NBODY was designed by David W.Walker from Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee [15]. MONTE is a simple parallel implementation of an Auxiliary-Field Monte Carlo algorithm designed by Carey Huscroft at the Department of Physics, University of California at Davis [16]. ZSNOOP is a parallel ray-tracing program that uses a global combine to merge all of the images computed by the individual processors into one rendering. Lance Burton designed it at the Engineering Research Center at Mississippi State University[17]. Table 5 summarizes the application-related statistics.T ABLE 5. Application-Related Statistics. (*Percent of critical path duration devoted to communication.)6.2. Performance Results. Computational performance is measured by execution time of relevant tasks. To obtain this information, probe calls are placed in delimiting points of the functional areas. Probe calls are assigned meaningful label names labels.

A Tool for Test Case Generation and EvaluationAhmed M. SalemDepartment of Computer Science, California State University, SacramentoSacramento, CA 95819.AbstractSoftware Quality has been a major concern since the inception of software. Testing has been regarded as a critical phase in the software lifecycle. To improve the software testing process and ensure high quality software, new tools and techniques need to be developed. In this paper we propose and describe a software testing tool for generating and evaluating efficient test cases. The tool is built on the concept of Design of Experiments (DOE) anda logistic regression. The focus is to efficiently minimize the number of test cases and predict software failures.Keywords: Software Testing Process; Logistic Regression; Design of Experiments (DOE)1. IntroductionSoftware testing is the process of executing software to determine its correctness with respect to its specification. Failures are deviations from the specification and are determined by comparing observed vs. intended behaviorof the system [1]. It is inherently an unbounded process because it will never be known with total confidence whether the software under test contains no faults or will never fail. Thus any testing process is a form of sampling. The tester uses some knowledge of the system to select a subset of tests to execute. Too often, this selection processis ad hoc.Testing is the primary tool for software quality assurance. It embodies not just the act of running a test, but designing tests, predicting test outcomes, establishing standards for tests, and corrective procedures for discovered errors. Developers are under great pressure to deliver more complex software on increasingly aggressive schedules and with limited resources. Testers are expectedto verify the quality of such software in less time and with even fewer resources. In such an environment, dynamic testing tools are a must to improve the software testing process.The aim of this paper is to describe a testing tool which utilizes both logistic regression modeling and Design of Experiments (DOE). 2. Background and Design PrinciplesIt is becoming harder to improve software quality and reliability merely based on theoretical models and approaches. Efficient and intuitive testing tools are needed while consuming fewer resources in terms of time and cost. Essentially, the motivation for this work is two fold: First, to improve the software testing process through dynamic test case generation (minimum and effective set of test cases). Thus, software testers can use the tool to define test models that have dozens of parameters and the tool will generate an efficient set of test cases. This will enable testers to define models with enough detail to accurately capture the semantics of the system under test. Second is to develop a predictive model that allows the software tester to predict the outcomes of test cases. This will, in turn, enable testers to shorten testing time, forecast software release, and gain insight into the quality of software under test.The proposed tool consists of the following four modules: •Input and Specification Module•Test Generation Module (using DOE designs)•Logistic Regression Module (using Logistic Regression)•Analysis Module.2.1. Input and Specification ModuleThis module allows the software tester to specify the test parameters, formulate them, and pass them to the generation module. The test parameters will be coded by values as 1 and -1. The tool, for now, is designed to work with two values for each test parameter.2.2. Test Case Generation ModuleThis module consists of various DOE designs to generate efficient test cases. With these designs, the software tester can select the appropriate design based on the number of test parameters.DOE is a general method for increasing the efficiency of an experiment by reducing the number of experimental runs required to achieve the desired results [2]. The use oftechniques from experimental design to choose test cases is relatively new in software testing. In other related work, other DOE techniques have been used in software testing. Taguchi method was used as described in Phadke [3]. In this work, the use of orthogonal arrays for planning test case generation was proposed.Design of experiments is a very effective way to minimize the experimental runs and yet cover the input space efficiently. DOE is a practice that employs statistical tools and methods in scientific experimenting [4]. Using DOE, the designer can successfully study multiple components in a single experiment. Figure 1 show a sample of DOE.Figure #1 – DOE Sample InputDOE designs are very powerful techniques, which are utilized to identify or screen important factors (test parameters) affecting a process. DOE is also used develop empirical models that validates these concepts. In many cases, it is sufficient to consider the test parameters affecting the production process at two values. For example, the test parameter may either be set at maximum or minimum or a screen field could be set at blank or not blank. The experimenter’s objective is to determine whether any of these changes affect the results of a specific function or the outcome of a test case [5]. The most intuitive approach to study those factors would be to vary the test parameters of interest in a full factorial design, that is, to try all possible combinations of settings.This would work fine, except that the number of necessary runs or test cases in the experiment (observations) will increase exponentially [6]. For example, if the experiment contains only 10 parameters we would need 210 = 1,024 runs (test cases) in the experiment. Because each run may be time-consuming and costly, it is often not feasible to require many different testing runs for the experiment. In these conditions, fractional factorials are used to minimize the number of runs and to reduce cost. Fractional factorial designs of resolution III are used in the early stages of the experiments. The main purpose of this design is to reduce the initial set of test parameters to a small set of parameters that might be sufficient and meaningful in the process. Fractional factorial designs of resolution IV and V are used when parameter interaction perceived to be significant and might expose more faults in the software under test.2.3. Logistic Regression ModuleThis module produces a model for test case prediction. The logistic module consists of two components: an estimation component for the unknown parameters and a prediction component. The function of the estimation component is to estimate the unknown parameters based on the test parameters and the observed outcome (Y). The model first estimates the unknown parameters and then the prediction component calculates, using the logistic model, the probability of test case outcomes. For the logistic regression model, the Maximum likelihood Estimation (MLE) is used to estimate the unknown parameters. The MLE seeks to maximize the log likelihood (LL) which reflects how likely it is (odds) that the observed value of the independent variable may be predicted from the observed values of independents.There are a variety of statistical techniques that can be used to predict a binary outcome variable (Y) from a set of independent variables. Multiple regression analysis and discriminate analysis are two related techniques that might be applicable. However, these techniques pose difficulties when the outcome variable (Y) can have only two values – an event occurring or not occurring. Ordinary regression deals with finding a function that relates a continuous outcome variable (Y) to one or more independent variables (X1, X2,..).Simple linear regression assumes a function of the form:Y =1ββ+ * X1 +2β * X2+3β * X3 +4β * X4+...and finds the values ofβ,1β,2β,3β,4β, etc. (β is called the intercept.)Logistic regression is a variation of ordinary regression, useful when the observed outcome is restricted to two values, (usually coded as 1 or 0, respectively). It produces a formula that predicts the probability of the occurrence as a function of the independent variables. Logistic regression fits a special s-shaped curve, as shown in figure 2, by taking the linear regression form, which could produce any Y-value between minus infinity and plus infinity, and transforming it with the function:P =)1/(YY e e +Figure 2- Logistic Regression CurveLogistic regression is a statistical technique that is widely used in medical research but is rarely used in other areas such as software testing research. This paper will focus on the logistic regression model and its use in modeling the relationship between a dichotomous outcome variable (Y ) and a set of independent variables.The probability that a software failure occurs given the test parameters [7]:X 1, X 2 , X 3, X 4 ,X 5 , X 6, X 7, X 8, X 9, and X i is donated by π(X 1, X 2, X 3,…, X i ) = P (Y = 1 | X 1, X , X , ….., X 23i )π]1/[1)(1i ni i o X e∑+==+−ββWhere 0β,1β,2β, …, i β are estimated by the Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation technique.2.4. Analysis ModuleThis module is used to examine the results of the models produced by the tool and to keep record of the number of test cases generated, test cases that produced failures, and test cases that that did not produce failures. For these models, the maximum likelihood (ML) used to estimate the unknown parameters. The maximum likelihood (ML) estimation is one of several alternative approaches that have been developed for estimating the parameters in a mathematical model. Because the logistic model is a non-linear, ML estimation is the preferred estimation method for logistic regression.In other models like the multiple linear regressions the interpretation of the regression coefficients isstraightforward. It shows the amount of change in the outcome variable for one-unit change in the independent variable. However, to understand the interpretation of the logistic coefficient, the logistic model can be rewritten in term of the odds of an event occurring (test case produceda failure or test case did not produce a failure).In other words, the logistic model can be represented by Logit form of the model. To get the Logit from the logistic model, a transformation of the model is made. The Logit transformation, denoted as logit P (X), is given as follows:Logit = ln)(X P []))(1/()(X P X P − where]1/[1)()(∑+=+−i i o X eX P ββThis transformation allows us to compute a number, called logit P (X), for each test case with input variables given by X. The logistic regression model fits the log odds by a linear function of the variables [8]. Logit P (X) =o β∑=+ni 1i βX iThe analysis module statistical criterion is based on the analysis of categorical data. As we have defined earlier that the outcome variable (Y) is of the binary form. The outcome (Y ) can assume only two values (1 and 0) or (fail or pass). The module evaluation criteria are predictive validity and misclassification rate. We use the criterion of predictive validity for validation and assessment, since we determine the absolute worth of a predictive model by looking at its statistical significance. A model that does not meet the criterion of predictive validity should be rejected.The predictive validity is the capability of the tool to predict the probability of a test case’s outcome. The tool first checks the resultant model against DOE generated test cases (training set) using the actual test cases outcome (1 or 0). Then validate the produced model against test cases that are outside the training set. A significant p value and a chi-square statistic are applied to test the model fitness.With regard to the predictive models, two misclassification errors should be taken into consideration and examined. A Type 1 error occurs when a test case that produced a failure is classified as a test case that did not produce a failure, while a Type 2 error occurs when a test case that did not produce a failure is classified as a test case that produced a failure. It is our aim to have both types of errors very small, especially Type 1. However,since the two types of errors are not independent, software testers should consider their different implications. As a result of Type 1 error, a test case that actually produced a failure could pass the software tester. This would cause the release of lower quality software and more testing effort when a failure actually occurs in the filed. As result of a Type 2 error, a test case that actually passed will receive more testing effort than needed. This in turn would cause a waste of resources and possible delays of release time. To validate this underlined approach and prove its effectiveness for the software testing process, it is necessary to show that such designs and models are effective in reducing test cases, covering the input domain efficiently, and correctly predicting software failures prior to testing. The tool’s performance depends on how it predicts the outcome of test cases outside the generated training set.2.5. ProcessAfter modeling the software under test and selecting the test parameters, the tool follows the following steps:1.Generate a set of test cases using DOE designs(training set).2.Run the training set against the software undertest and observe each test case outcome (Y) – 1or 0.3.Evaluate the model adequacy by examining the pvalue and chi-square.4.If the model is adequate based on the validitycriteria then the model is used to predict the testcases outcome outside the training set.5.If the model is not adequate, add more test casesand develop a new logistic model. Restart fromstep 2.6.Analyze the results.3. Benefits and limitationsFrom our experience and based on the case studies, we conclude that this tool is more effective with applications where parameter interaction is of great importance. This approach is general enough to be applied and implemented with various software applications. Database applications, network applications, telecommunication, and computationally intensive applications are good candidates. We found that this tool is more effective and produced good results with the early releases of software. The contributions of this research are as follows:1.Generating efficient test cases and gaining agreat deal of insight into the quality of thesoftware.2.Predicting test case’s outcome with highprobability, which allows the software tester toprioritize the testing effort to achieve qualitygoals.3.Logistic regression prediction capabilityprovides a good reference as when to releasesoftware.4.Ranking test cases that produced failures andidentify the components that are more error-prone is another benefit.More work need to done with three or more value parameters. Complete and exhaustive case studies need to be conduct to validate the effectiveness of the proposed tool. Further study and research could be conducted with mixed DOE designs.4. ConclusionWe described a new tool for generating and predicting software failures. When this tool is used with early releases of software, the predictive models proved usefulin predicting software failures and in forecasting software readiness. We feel the tool’s underlined approach (DOE and logistic Regression) is applicable to most applications especially if the tool is used to test early software releases. However, to increase our confidence in the results, we will conduct and examine several case studies with different types of applications.5.

A further problem related to this complexity is that of joint costs and economies of scale: for instance, a single track railway may carry both passenger and freight traffic, thus only some of the costs can be specifically attributed to one of the forms of traffic; the remaining costs are joint. Moreover railways are subject to economies of traffic density: putting more traffic on the same route generally reduces unit costs, unless the route is already heavily congested;•geographic factors: gradient, climate and complexity of the network has a strong influence on railway performance through its impact on the nature of traffic carried;•government intervention: for passenger service is not uncommon for governments to effectively control the timetable as far as the frequency of service on each route, either as part of a formal franchising agreement or via a public service obligation. In this situation the government becomes the customer, and the output the railway produces is a certain level of service, rather than transport for a number of people.After a compared analysis of different railways cost methodologies, the paper proposes a set of cost functions for the articulate estimation of regional railways investment and operating costs in relation with existing and/or planned contexts. giving some example of reference points and orders of magnitude. The methodology is then applied to compare estimated cost with some European regional operating costs (€/train-km).2.Literature cost modelsBasically, a cost function C for a production level y (for example, the total amount of train kilometres per year, with an assumed capacity Į of one train unit) can be determined as follows (Van Vuuren, 2002):C(y) = c0 + c1 int (y/Į) + c2 ywhere the three terms on the right-hand side correspond to sunk costs c0, fixed costs c1 and variable costs c2, respectively, and for a given time horizon. Contrary to fixed costs, sunk costs cannot be eliminated, even at zero production level (examples are tracks and bridges). On the other hand, fixed costs are the kind of costs that are necessary for production, but do not vary with the output level (an example is the purchase of locomotives). In practice, it is not always clear whether costs should be categorized as sunk or fixed costs; the time horizon of the analysis is obviously crucial for this.Knowledge of cost functions is essential for decision-making of transport companies and regulators of the public sector (Pels & Rietveld, 2000). The first ones need to achieve best results of companies objectives, whilst for the second ones, they have important implications for policies such as whether or not transport might qualify for subsidy, and whether the public sector should take special regulatory measures in markets to counter monopolistic tendencies.Specialist literature concerning public transport systems proposes different ways to investigate costs (Tab. 1).Generally speaking, costs related with the production of a public transport service can be distinguished in investment costs (also known as capital cost), required for the realization or the purchase of components (for railways: infrastructure, rolling stock, installations, etc.) for the planned action, and operating costs (also known as management costs) including those for the operation and maintenance of transport service.Amongst the studies particularly referred to railways and including both investment and operating costs, a paper from Baumgartner (2001) has to be mentioned. Moreover, a study about the reactivation of a railway line in central Italy (Santinelli, 2007) includes a basic indication of investment and operating cost for it. Ott (2001) compared infrastructure costs of road and rail. Mancuso and Reverberi (2003) studied operating cost and market organization in Italian railway services. A cost analysis for both investment and management costs in advanced public transport systems is proposed by Gattuso & Meduri (2006). Von Brown (2011) proposes a planning methodology for railway construction cost estimation in North America. A comparison of investment cost in551D omenico Gattuso and Antonio Restuccia / P rocedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 111 ( 2014 )549 – 558urban rail is fully investigated in Flyvbjerg, Bruzelius and van Wee (2008). Moreover, some studies are specifically related to high speed rails (Levinson, Mathieu, Gillen, & Kanafani, 1997; Van Hecke, Aubry, Hakenbeck, Leveritt & Smith, 2003).More recently, a study from Garcia (2010) linked operating costs to speed.A paper from Calvo and De Oña (2012) investigated a series of national charging systems to compare track usage costs and the charges that seek to recover those costs; Olsson, Økland and Halvorsen (2012) determined the consequences of differences in cost-benefit methodology in railway infrastructure appraisal.Table 1.

The proposed model considers investment cost for infrastructure, fixed equipment (such as stations) and rolling stock separately, as well as operating costs, in a fair process of allocation of them (Fig. 1). The unit cost parameters have been actualized to year 2013.Fig. 1. Cost component of railways552D omenico Gattuso and Antonio Restuccia / P rocedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 111 ( 2014 )549 – 5583.1.Infrastructure investment costAccording to literature, the average construction cost for a new railway widely ranges between 1.5 M€ and 70 M€ per kilometer of line. It depends not only on the technology but mainly on the relief of the landscape. If there are a lot of hills and mountains, then there will be more tunnels and bridges to be built.The infrastructure investment cost C INFR can be applied to every gauge and is a sum of the following costs:C INFR = C STUD + C LAND + C BUILD + C TRACK + C ELEC + C SIGNwhere the components are:C STUD for studies (feasability study, preliminary study and project);C LAND for land and rights;C BUILD for main infrastructure building works;C TRACK for the trackage;C ELECT for the electric traction equipment;C SIGN for the signalling systems.The cost for studies C STUD includes costs for feasability study, preliminary study and project. A range of 0.01-0.1 M€/km for both feasibility and for preliminary studies can be assumed , as well as 0.3-3% of the investmentbudget for project costs.The cost for land and rights C LAND can be related on the population density, widely ranging from uninhabited areas to highly-dense populated area.Infrastructure building cost C BUILD is assumed as a cost per kilometer of homogeneous portions of line, and includes: preparation of the ground, embankments, drainage, structures (walls, water ducts, bridges, tunnels, overpasses and underpasses), fences and noise-protection equipment, service access roads, interim financial charges, general expenses, initial additional maintenance. Tab. 2 reports typical infrastructure cost in case of easy topography, average topography, tunnels and bridges.Table 2. Infrastructure costs per different topography. Source: own source, based on literature data.Track Easy (M€/km) Average (M€/km) Tunnels (M€/km) Bridges (M€/km)Single 1-3 3-15 10-50 10-20Double 1-4 3-20 20-70 20-50 Track cost C TRACK includes ballast, sleepers or crossters, rail fastening, rails, welds or fish-platings, laying, and initial additional maintenance. The following ranges of track cost per different rail masses can be assumed: •50 kg/m rail mass: 0.2 – 0.4 M€/km;•60 kg/m rail mass: 0.3 – 0.5 M€/km;•70 kg/m rail mass: 0.4 – 0.6 M€/km.The costs of equipment for electric traction C ELEC basically include the cost of substations and the cost of catenary. Furthermore, the electrification of an existing line also requires an investment cost to putting-up of the electrification gauge (for example, lowering the floor in tunnels, raising overpasses, etc) and for modification of signalling equipment along the track and in station, as well as telecommunications equipment.553D omenico Gattuso and Antonio Restuccia / P rocedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 111 ( 2014 )549 – 558The signalling cost C SIGN may include cables, automatic block system, spot repetition of signal (automatic train protection or advanced train protection), cab signal (automatic train control), radio link between the dispatcher and the train, and level crossing with light and acoustic signals and automatic barriers.Tab 3 reports typical ranges of electrification costs, as assumed from literature.Table 3. Electrification and signalling costs. Source: own source, based on literature data.Track C ELEC (M€/km) C SIGN (M€/km)Single 0.5 – 0.9 0.3 – 0.5Double 0.7 – 1.2 0.3 – 1.03.2.Fixed equipment investment costThe fixed equipment cost C FIXED include stations, locomotive service and repair facilities, maintenance shops for rolling stock, track, etc. Particularly, in the case of stations there is a huge variability between the cost for smallest stops (2-6 M€), that of a typical station (5-15 M€) and that of largest stations (reaching up to 100 M€).3.3.Rolling stock investment costRolling stock is the second relevant element in a railway project. The amount of trains needed for the service depends on the number of runs which have to be offered, with precautionary additional number of locomotives and railcars taking into account breakdowns and maintenance. Thus:C ROLL= Σi N i⋅ c ROLL,iwhere N i is the number of and c ROLL,i is the unit cost for the i-th rolling stock type. Tab. 4 indicates purchase prices for some different complete regional trains.Table 4. Regional passenger services: characteristics of rolling stock.

They are usually referred to one year of service and can be aggregated in many different ways. The proposed approach includes five different components: traction, capital depreciation or leasing costs of rolling stock, maintenance of rolling stock, salary for driving crew and on-board crew, and tolls for the use of infrastructures. Thus, operating costs model can be written as follows:C OPE = C TR + C DEP + C MAN + C SAL + C ACCTraction, maintenance and access charges costs are related to the number of train-km (TKM), defined as the product of number of runs (round-trip) and the total length of the line; depreciation cost is related to purchase price of rolling stock; salary cost is related to the amount of employees. Specification for each operating cost component is reported below.Traction cost C TR is related to the actual energy consumption, which depends on many factors, such as the mass of the train and its speed profile over full route. The total energy cost will be obtained by adding the cost of traction energy and auxiliary power forms consumed per seat-km, subtracting the cost of energy returned to the network and adding the distribution cost. The cost for running a train through a railway line (including that related to consumption for heating and air conditioning), can be determined for both electric and diesel trains as:C TR = c P ⋅ e⋅ TKMwhere:c P is the unit cost of power source (€/kWh for electric trains, €/liters for diesel trains);e is the unit consumption (kWh/km for electric trains, litre/km for diesel trains).For electric trains regional services, unit consumption ranges between 3.5 and 5.5 kWh/km (Jong & Chang, 2005), with a unit cost of the electricity from 0.06 to 0.16 €/kWh. For diesel trains, assuming a consumption per mass unit of about 0.0045 l/t-km (Vaiciunas & Lingaitis, 2008), this results for regional trains in a unit consumption ranging between 0.45 and 1.10 l/km. The average unit cost of diesel is about 1.70 €/km.The rolling stock depreciation cost C DEP represents about one-third of the total cost of the service if the fleet is recent. If the fleet tends to be older, with an average age of 20 years or more (the period over which the depreciation is normally distributed), it can be already considered largely depreciated and this can reduce this cost on the order of 8 to 10% of the total cost. Assuming a straight-line depreciation over a period of Y years, depreciation cost of the entire fleet of rolling stock is:C DEP = Σi C DEP,i = Σi (C ROLL,i / Y)where C ROLL,i is the investment cost associated with the i-th component of the fleet (€).The rolling stock maintenance cost C MAN can be calculated as:C MAN = c MAN⋅ TKMwhere c MAN is an aggregated unit maintenance (2.5-3.5 €/train-km according with literature, with diesel’s higher than electric’s) taking into account different cost components, such as:555D omenico Gattuso and Antonio Restuccia / P rocedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 111 ( 2014 )549 – 558•fixed costs (including management personnel, accounting, documentation, technical office, etc.) as about 30–40% of total maintenance cost;•variable costs for the replacement of items that wear out through use (5-10% of total maintenance cost); •fixed and variable costs for operating the workshops (50-60% of total maintenance cost);•cost for exterior and interior cleaning of rolling stock, representing 0.05-0.1% of total maintenance cost.Regarding salary cost C SAL , personnel providing services in the operation can be basically classified into two categories:•personnel providing ground services, that can be operating personnel or indirect personnel;•personnel providing services on board the train, such as drivers, conductors and ticket inspectors.As no relationship has been appreciated in principle between their costs and the operational characteristics for ground personnel, these costs can be considered to be independent of service. On the other hand, personnel working on board the trains have a fixed working timetable (typically 36-40 hours a week), so an increase in operating hours results in an higher number of required personnel. Total salary cost can be calculated as:C SAL =Σi N GR, i⋅ C GR +Σk N ON, k⋅ C ONwhere:N GR, i is the number and C GR is the salary of the i-th category of ground personnel (€/employee);N ON, k is the number and C ON is the salary of the k-th category of on-board personnel (€/employee).When trains operate on tracks owned by another railroad company, there are access fees C ACC charged by the owner of railroad, that is supposed to recover the marginal costs of track renewal and maintenance. On the other hand, if the route track is owned by the same company operating the rail service, this charging fees are replacedby infrastructure maintenance costs.

Asample line has been considered, whose operational characteristics of the test line are summarized in Tab. 5.Table 5. Application – operational characteristics.Value Value Length of the line L = 100 km Frequency of service q = 2 runs/h (roundtrip)Commercial speed v = 60 km/h Number of Vehicles N= int(q⋅T) = 7 Total travel time (roundtrip) T = 3.33 h (roundtrip) Number of stations 16Assuming a 16 hours daily span H and no variation between working days and holidays, the total number of train-km per year results in 2,336,000 train-km.Regarding rolling stock, in order to investigate cost in both electric and diesel railways a train existing in both versions has been considered (having a purchase price of 3.30 M€ for the electric and 3.45 M€ for the diesel one).Two further vehicles in stock have been considered, resulting in 9 trains (considered for the calculation ofdepreciation costs).The model for operating cost is then applied, assuming specific values for each parameter of unit cost (Tab. 6).In particular, for the estimation of salary cost C SAL, the following crew has been assumed for each train: a traindrivers and a conductor (assisting passengers on and off the train when required and inspecting ticket);considering three working shift per day, this results in a total of 42 on-board personnel. Regarding the amount ofground personnel, 16 stations attendants (one per station) and further 30 (control system staff and administrative)have been considered, resulting in a total of 46. A 60,000 € year cost per employee has been assumed.The total operating cost results in 8.34 €/km for the electric railroad and 9.66 €/km for the diesel railroad (+16% compared to electric). Average breakdown of cost is the following: 7% for traction 28% for access, 7%for depreciation, 33% for maintenance and 25% for salaries.Table 6. Application case – Assumed unit costsE lectricDieselUnit consumption c P =0.09 €/kWh c P =1.7 €/lPower/fuel unit cost e =5 kWh/TKM e =0.45 l/TKMMaintenance unit cost c MAN =2.5 €/TKM c MAN =3.5 €/TKMAccess charges c ACC =2.49 €/TKMThe obtained values have been then compared with the average operating cost for regional services in the three different countries, in order to study the coherence with charging principles on which it is based.Basically, in each analyzed country funding of regional service is done by allocating resources to the single region, which establishes the amount of train-km per year. Thus, the ratio between resources and train-kmprovides an average operating cost per km.The analysis (Tab.7) shows a good consistence of model when compared with France and Germany.Regarding Italy, a further partition of the sample indicates that in southern regions the cost is 1.5 times higherthan northern regions (still in coherence with the model). This result can be read as a lack of efficiency in theproduction of train-km.557 D omenico Gattuso and Antonio Restuccia / P rocedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 111 ( 2014 )549 – 558Table 7.

Although this methodology is not meant to replace the depth and detail of feasibility studies or professional railroad planning activities, it can be used as an intermediate tool to allow planners to more easily perform railroad analysis and planning activities on their own, prior to contracting out feasibility studies.Further development of this research will be addressed to other categories of railway services, such as intercity and high-speed trains.ReferencesBaumgartner, J.P.
