In this paper, we discuss modular software system for Software Reliability Growth Models using testing effort and study the optimal testing effort intensity for each module. The main goal is to minimize the cost of software development when budget constraint on testing expenditure is given. We discuss the evolution of faults removal dynamics in incorporating the idea of leading /independent and dependent faults in modular software system under the assumption that testing of each of the modulus is done independently. The problem is formulated as an optimal control problem and the solution to the proposed problem has been obtained by using Pontryagin Maximum Principle.
