This research studied the evaluation of reliability among the software quality characteristics: suitability, reliability, usability, portability, maintainability, performance efficiency, security, and compatibility. It proposes a quantitative evaluation of reliability in the measurement of software quality. This study introduces a method for measuring the failure rate included in maturity during reliability evaluation, which is one of the characteristics of software quality, and is a study with experimental data on how the failure rate changes depending on the form of failure data. Focusing on software testing, the failure rate was measured and compared according to the type of failure data by applying it to the software reliability growth model, focusing on the number of failures per day. The failure rate was measured around the failure time found through the 6-day test, and the failure rate was compared with the failure rate proposed by the international standard ISO/IEC 25023 using the measurement results, and the application was reviewed according to the data type.

The purpose of this research is to present a practical method for efficiently monitoring a reliability growth process using AMSAA(Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity) reliability growth model. The presented method is viable for identifying failure modes, incorporating design changes and monitoring reliability progress on an on-going basis during the early stages of a product development program. According to the Application Guide for EN 50126(RAM part for Rolling Stock), reliability growth monitoring is essential part of the main tasks of design phase in RAM growth monitoring. Implementation of reliability growth management program will provide very useful information on concept selection, product/process reliability, and cost effectiveness without too much time, money and engineering effort being spent on the development of failure suspect parts.

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.

The hyper-geometric distribution software reliability growth model (HGDM) was recently developed and successfully applied to real data sets. The HGDM considers the sensitivity factor as a parameter to be estimated. In order to reflect the random behavior of the test-and-debug process, this paper generalizes the HGDM by assuming that the sensitivity factor is a binomial random variable. Such a generalization enables us to easily understand the statistical characteristics of the HGDM. It is shown that the least squares method produces the identical results for both the HGDM and the generalized HGDM. Methods for computing the maximum likelihood estimates and predicting the future outcomes are also presented.

For the purpose of assessing structural integrity at a level of complexity and accuracy appropriate for the situation, integrity assessment methods are formulated with the following methods. One is three-tier assessment method of the revised BSI PD 6493 which considers stable crack growth effect, the others are limit load analysis which estimates the plastic collapse load and stability assessment method which considers stable crack growth of ductile material exactly using J-integral and tearing modulus. Besides, integrity assessments for center cracked panel(CCP) specimen and the circumferential through-cracked pipe are carried out and reliability analysis is accomplished by the first order reliability method which is one of the conventional reliability methods. Also the accuracy of the present method is verified by Monte Carlo method.

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.

Since guided weapon is high-cost and one-shot device which is non-reusable, it requires a lot of resources to prove required accuracy as a part of reliability demonstration. Once a test for proving accuracy rate of guided missile fails, it causes an additional cost and delay of schedule. This study introduces an equation for proper sample size and plan for guided-missile accuracy rate test in order to minimize the risk of test failure. Proper sample size for the test is derived by considering the reliability growth. Furthermore, each task for accuracy rate test is defined according to the development step. Therefore, this study can contribute to reduce sample size for accuracy rate test in order to meet the reliability requirement and assure transparency in the test process.

A method of estimating B$_{\alpha}$ life of crack growth is proposed based on the linear elastic fracture mechanic model. It is assumed that the coefficients in the Paris-Erdogan equation are random variables and their distributions are estimated by the method of 2-stage estimation from the fatigue crack growth data.

A one-shot device is defined as a product, system, weapon, or equipment that can be used only once. After use, the device is destroyed or must undergo extensive rebuild. Determining the reliability of a one-shot device poses a unique challenge to the manufacturers and users due to the destructive nature and costs of the testing. This paper presents a reliability growth prediction for a one-shot system. It is assumed that 1) test duration is discrete(i.e. trials or rounds); 2) trials are statistically independent; 3) the number of failures for a given system configuration is distributed according to a binomial distribution; and 4) the cumulative expected number of failures through any sequence of configurations is given by AMSAA model. When the system development is represented by three configurations and the number of trials and failures during configurations are given, the AMSAA model parameters and reliability at configuration 3 are estimated by using a reliability growth analysis software. Further, if the reliability growth predictions do not meet the target reliability, the sample size of an additional test is determined for achieving the target reliability.
