소프트웨어를 테스팅하는 동안 얻어지는 고장 데이터를 분석하여 소프트웨어의 신뢰성이 성장하는 과정을 평가하기 위해 여러 가지 소프트웨어 신뢰성 성장 모델들이 개발되었다. 그러나 이들 신뢰성 성장 모델들은 소프트웨어 개발과 사용환경에 관한 여러 가지 가정에 기반하고 있기 때문에, 이 가정이 적합하지 않은 상황이나 결함이 드물게 발생되는 소프트웨어에 대해서는 적절하지 않다. 입력영역에 기초한 소프트웨어 신뢰성 모델은 일반적으로 이러한 가정을 요구하지 않는데 디버깅 전의 소프트웨어와 디버깅 후의 소프트웨어를 별개의 것으로 다루어 많은 테스트 입력을 요하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 가정이 요구되지 않고 디버깅 전과 후의 소프트웨어를 동시에 테스트하는 방법에 기반을 둔 입력 영역 기반 소프트웨어 성장모델을 제안하고 그 통계적 특성을 조사한다. 이 모델은 모든 데이터를 다 활용하기 때문에 기존 입력영역 소프트웨어 신뢰성 모델에 비해 적은 테스트 입력을 필요로 할 것으로 기대된다. 그리고 소프트웨어의 유지보수 단계에 적용하기 위해 개발된 유사한 방법들과 비교한다.

Relative importance and complexity of recent software is getting increased because the software is needed to provide considerable amount of functions and high performance. Therefore, developing reliable software is importantly issued. In order to develop reliable software, it is necessary to manage software reliability at the early phases, but most reliability estimation models are used at system or operational test phases. In order to develop highly reliable software, it is necessary to manage software reliability at the early test phases based on characteristic of the phases that is developers and testers are not separated and developers perform test and debug activities together. Therefore, a new reliability estimation model considering test and debug time together is necessarily needed. In this paper, we propose a new reliability estimation model to manage reliability of individual units from the early test phases and in order to show how to fit the model to actual data and usefulness, we collected industrial data and used it for the experiment.

Park, Seo and Kim (12) developed the input domain-based SRGM, which was able to quantitatively assess the reliability of a software system during the testing and operational phases. They assumed perfect debugging during testing and debugging phase. To make this input domain-based SRGM more realistic, this assumption should be relaxed. In this paper we generalize the input domain-based SRGM under imperfect debugging. Then its statistical characteristics are investigated.

컴퓨터시스템은 여러 가지 복잡하고 민감한 시스템을 제어하는데 광범위하게 쓰이고 있다. 최근에 와서는 운영시스템, 제어프로그램, 적용프로그램과 같은 여러 가지 소프트웨어 시스템이 더욱더 복잡화 및 대형화되고 있기 때문에 신뢰성이 높은 소프트웨어 시스템을 개발하는 일이 매우 중요하며, 소프트웨어 제품개발에 있어서 소프트웨어의 신뢰도가 핵심사항이다. 1970년대 이후 소프트웨어의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위한 여러 가지 소프트웨어의 신뢰도 모델이 제시되고 검토되었으며, 특히, 소프트웨어 개발 후 테스트단계에 적용하는 신뢰도를 추정하고 예측하는 모델이 많이 개발되었다. 소프트웨어가 주어진 시간간격동안 고장이 발생하지 않을 확률 즉, 신뢰도는 소프트웨어의 테스트과정을 계속해서 반복 및 수정하면 더욱 더 증가된다. 그러한 결함검출현상을 설명해주는 소프트웨어 신뢰도 모델을 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델(SRGM)이라 한다.

Current software reliability growth models based on Gompertz growth curve are all logarithmic type. Software reliability growth models based on logarithmic type Gompertz growth curve has difficulties in parameter estimation. Therefore this paper proposes a software reliability growth model based on the logistic type Gompertz growth curie. Its usefulness is empirically verified by analyzing the failure data sets obtained from 13 different software projects. The parameters of model are estimated by linear regression through variable transformation or Virene's method. The proposed model is compared with respect to the average relative prediction error criterion. Experimental results show that the pro-posed model performs better the models based on the logarithmic type Gompertz growth curve.

소프트웨어 개발 중 분석과 설계 단계에서 만들어진 산출물을 이용하여 개발될 소프트웨어의 신뢰도를 예측하는 초기 소프트웨어 신뢰도 모델은 소프트웨어의 품질을 보증하는 유용한 도구로써 사용될 수 있다. 기존의 소프트웨어 신뢰도 모델은 개발될 소프트웨어의 품질에 한정하여 신뢰도를 예측함으로써 기존 시스템과 연계된 신뢰도를 예측하는데 한계가 있다는 단점과 개발자의 개발 능력이 개발될 소프트웨어 신뢰도에 미칠 영향을 고려하는데 한계가 있다는 단점이 있었다. 그러므로, 본 논문은 기존 시스템과의 연관성을 고려한 초기 소프트웨어 신뢰도 모델을 기준으로 개발자의 개발 능력을 고려한 종합적인 초기 신뢰도 모델을 제시하였다.

Most models assume the complete debugging environments by requiring a complete software correction in quantitative evaluation of software reliability. But, in many case, new faults are involved in debugging works, for complete software correction is impossible. In this paper, software growth model is proposed about incomplete debugging environments by considering the possibility of new faults involvements, and software faults occurrence status are also mentioned about NHPP by considering software faults under software operation environments and native faults owing to the randomly involved faults in operation before test. While, effective quantitative measurements are derived in software reliability evaluation, applied results are suggested by using actual data, and fitnesswith existing models are also compared and analyzed.

A reliability of software is a type of nonfunctional requirement. Traditionally, a validation of the reliability is processed at the integration phase in software development life cycle. However, it increases the cost and the risk for the development. In this paper, we propose reliability analysis method based on mathematical analytic model at the architecture design phase of the development process as follows. First, we propose the software modeling methodology for reliability analysis using Hierarchical combined Queueing Petri Nets(HQPN). Second, we derive the Markov Reward Model from the HQPN based model. We apply our approach to the video conference system to verify the usefulness of our approach. Our approach supports quantitative evaluation of the reliability.

In the domain of Korean weapon system development, issues about software reliability have become crucial factors when developing a weapon system. There is a process required for weapon system software development and management that includes certain activities required to improve the reliability of software. However, these activities are biased toward static and dynamic analyses of source code and do not include activities necessarily required by the international standard. IEEE std. 1633-2016 defines a process for software reliability engineering and describes software reliability estimation as an essential activity in the process. Software reliability estimation means that collecting defective data during the test and estimating software reliability by using the statistical model. Based on the estimated model, developers could estimate the failure rate and make comparisons with the objective failure rate to determine termination of the test. In this study, we collected defective data and applied reliability estimation models to analyze software reliability in the development of a weapon system. To achieve objective software reliability, we continuously tested our software and quantitatively calculated software reliability. Through the research, we hope that efforts to include activities described by the international standard will be carried out in the domain of Korean weapon system development.
