Abstract
The software reliability is defined, and not only the relations between testing time and reliability, but also the relation between duration following failure fixing and reliability are studied in this paper. The release time making the testing cost to be minimum is determined through evaluating the cost for each condition. Also, the release time is determined depending on the conditions of the first reliability, considering the specified reliability. the optimum release time is determined by simultaneously studying two optimum release time issues that determine both the cost related time and the specified reliability related time. And, each condition and limitation are studied. The trend of the optimum time is also examined.
