In this paper, make a study decision problem called an optimal release policies after testing a software system in development phase and transfer it to the user. When correcting or modifying the software, finite failure non-homogeneous Poisson process model, presented and propose release policies of the life distribution, half-logistic property model which used to an area of reliability because of various shape and scale parameter. In this paper, discuss optimal software release policies which minimize a total average software cost of development and maintenance under the constraint of satisfying a software reliability requirement. In a numerical example, the parameters estimation using maximum likelihood estimation of failure time data, make out estimating software optimal release time. Software release time is used as prior information, potential security damages should be reduced.

Decision problem called an optimal release policies, after testing a software system in development phase and transfer it to the user, is studied. The infinite failure non-homogeneous Poisson process models presented and propose an optimal release policies of the life distribution applied extreme distribution which used to find the minimum (or the maximum) of a number of samples of various distributions. In this paper, discuss optimal software release policies which minimize a total average software cost of development and maintenance under the constraint of satisfying a software reliability requirement. In a numerical example, extreme value distribution as another alternative of existing the Poisson execution time model and the log power model can be verified using inter-failure time data.

This paper considers software release problems based on Goel-Okumoto and S-shaped reliability growth models. Test of the software system is terminated after a preassigned time T, and it is released to the operational phase. It is assumed that correction cost of an error is increasing with test or operation time. Optimum software release time is obtained using total expected cost on the software life time as a criterion for optimization. In addition, optimal software release policies under the constraint of a software reliability requirement are discussed.

Decision problem called an optimal release policies, after testing a software system in development phase and transfer it to the user, is studied. The applied model of release time exploited infinite non-homogeneous Poisson process. This infinite non-homogeneous Poisson process is a model which reflects the possibility of introducing new faults when correcting or modifying the software. The failure life-cycle distribution used exponential and non-exponential family which has various intensity. Thus, software release policies which minimize a total average software cost of development and maintenance under the constraint of satisfying a software reliability requirement becomes an optimal release policies. In a numerical example, after trend test applied and estimated the parameters using maximum likelihood estimation of inter-failure time data, estimated software optimal release time.

In this paper, we generalize the software reliability growth model by assuming that the testing cost and maintenance cost are random and adopt the Bayesian approach to determine the optimal software release time. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the Bayesian method for certain parametric models.

It is of great practical interest to decide when to stop testing a software system in the development phase and transfer it to the user. This decision problemcalled an optimal software release one is discussed to specify the a, pp.opriate release time. In almost all studies, the software reliability models used are nonphomogenous Poisson process(NHPP) model with bounded mean value function. HNPP models with unbounded mean value function are more suitable in practice because of the possibility of introducing new faults when correcting or modifying the software. We discuss optimal software release policies which minimize a total average software cost under the constraint of satisfying a software reliability requirement. A numerical example illustrates the results.

This paper classifies faults into three types : simple, degenerated, and regenerated faults. This paper also deals with the characteristics of each type of fault to determine the software reliability based on the assumption; i. e., a system consisting of several subsystems (modules) which may be debugged simultaneously. For each type of fault, several formulas are developed to obtain the failure rate and the expected number of failures found during debugging. A model is developed based on the formulas of the failure rate and the expected number of failures to decide the optimal release time of a new software: minimizing the total cost with constraints restricting to the failure rate of each module in the software. By using this model, optimal release times are found for some cases; the eliminated faults are assumed simple faults only, regenerated faults only, simple and degenerated faults, and so on.

Computer software has gradually become an indispensable elements in many aspects of our daily lives and an important factor in numerous systems. In recent years, it is not unusual that the software cost is more than the hardware cost in many situations. In addition to the costs of developing software, the repair cost resulting from the software failures are even more significant. In this paper, a cost model with warranty cost, time to remove each fault detected in the software system, and delivery delay cost is developed. We use a software reliability model based on non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP). We discuss the optimal release policies to minimize the expected total software cost. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the results.
