Abstract
In the development of a complex systems, the early prototypes generally have reliability problems, and, consequently these systems are subjected to a reliability growth program to find problems and take corrective action. A variety of models have been proposed to account for the reliability growth phenomena. Clear guidelines need to be established to assist the reliability engineers for model selection. In this paper, some of more well-known growth models are surveyed and classified. These models are classified based upon distinguishing model features. A procedure for model selection is introduced which is based on this classification.
