With growing demand for zero defects, predicting reliability of software systems is gaining importance. Software reliability models are used to estimate the reliability or the number of latent defects in a software product. Most reliability models to estimate the reliability of software in the literature are based on the development lifecycle stages. However, in the maintenance phase, the software needs to be corrected for errors and to be enhanced for the requests from users. These decrease the reliability of software. Software Reliability Growth Models (SRGMs) have been applied successfully to model software reliability in development phase. The software reliability in maintenance phase exhibits many types of systematic or irregular behaviors. These may include cyclic behavior as well as long-term evolutionary trends. The cyclic behavior may involve multiple periodicities and may be asymmetric in nature. In this paper, SGRM has been adapted to develop a reliability prediction model for the software in maintenance phase. The model is established using maintenance data from a commercial shop floor control system. The model is accepted to be used for resource planning and assuring the quality of the maintenance work to the user.

Software reliability growth model is one of the evaluation methods, software quality which quantitatively calculates the software reliability based on the number of errors detected. For correct and precise evaluation of reliability of certain software, the reliability model, which is considered to fit dose to real data should be selected as well. In this paper, the optimal model for specific test data was selected one of among five software reliability growth models based on NHPP(Non Homogeneous Poission Process), and in result reliability estimating scales(total expected number of errors, error detection rate, expected number of errors remaining in the software, reliability etc) could obtained. According to reliability estimating scales obtained, Software development and predicting optimal release point and finally in conducting systematic project management.

The inverse Rayleigh model distribution and Rayleigh distribution model were widely used in the field of reliability station. In this paper applied using the finite failure NHPP models in order to growth model. In other words, a large change in the course of the software is modified, and the occurrence of defects is almost inevitable reality. Finite failure NHPP software reliability models can have, in the literature, exhibit either constant, monotonic increasing or monotonic decreasing failure occurrence rates per fault. In this paper, proposes the inverse Rayleigh and Rayleigh software reliability growth model, which made out efficiency application for software reliability. Algorithm to estimate the parameters used to maximum likelihood estimator and bisection method, model selection based on mean square error (MSE) and coefficient of determination($R^2$), for the sake of efficient model, were employed. In order to insurance for the reliability of data, Laplace trend test was employed. In many aspects, Rayleigh distribution model is more efficient than the reverse-Rayleigh distribution model was proved. From this paper, software developers have to consider the growth model by prior knowledge of the software to identify failure modes which can helped.

Bayesian inference and model selection method for software reliability growth models are studied. Software reliability growth models are used in testing stages of software development to model the error content and time intervals between software failures. In this paper, we could avoid the multiple integration by the use of Gibbs sampling, which is a kind of Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to compute the posterior distribution. Bayesian inference and model selection method for Jelinski-Moranda and Goel-Okumoto and Schick-Wolverton models in software reliability with Poisson prior information are studied. For model selection, we explored the relative error.

Gompertz 성장곡선에 기반한 기존의 소프트웨어 신뢰성 성장모델들은 모두 대수형이다. 대수형 Gompertz 성장 곡선에 기반한 소프트웨어 신뢰성 성장 모델들은 모수 추정에 어려움을 갖고 있다. 그러므로 본 논문은 로지스틱형 Gompertz 성장곡선에 기반한 신뢰성 성장 모델을 제안한다. 13개의 다른 소프트웨어 프로젝트로부터 얻은 고장 데이터를 분석하여 그 유용성을 검토하였다. 모델의 모수들은 변수변환을 통한 선형희귀분석과 Virence의 방법으로 추정되었다. 제안된 모델은 평균 상대 예측 오차에 기반하여 성능을 비교하였다. 실험 결과 제안된 모델은 대수형 Gompertz 성장 곡선에 기반한 모델보다 좋은 성능을 보였다.

소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델은 다양하게 연구되어져 있다. 그러나 이러한 모델에서 정확한 모수를 측정하는 것은 그리 쉽지 않다. 특히 고장 데이터에 대하여 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델의 추정이 정확히 이루어져야만 모델을 설명하는 모수의 추정도 정확하게 이루어질 수 있다. 이러한 측면에서 테스팅을 통해서 얻어진 소프트웨어의 고장 데이터의 정규확률점수를 구해서 두 개의 값에 대한 플롯을 그려보고 그려진 결과를 이용해서 분포를 예측하여 예측된 분포에 적합한 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델을 적용한다면 상당히 정확한 테스팅 결과론 얻을 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 고장 테이터의 플롯을 통한 결과를 통해서 분포를 예측하고 모델을 성능평가 척도에 따라서 모의실험을 하여 그 결과를 통해서 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델의 적합성을 검정하는 연구이다. 연구결과 고장데이터의 정규점수를 이용한 플롯을 보고 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델을 예측할 수 있었고 이러한 예측을 통해서 모델 선정한다면 모델의 성능평가에서도 우수함을 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper reliability growth model in which the operating time between successive failure is a continuous random variable is proposed. This model is for Burr type XII distribution with two parameters which is discussed in two versions: the order statistics and non-homogeneous Poisson process. The two software reliability measures are obtained. The performance for two versions of the suggested model is tested on real data set by U-plot and Y-plot using Kolmogorov distance.

In this paper, we propose a software reliability growth model (SRGM) based on the testing domain, which is isolated by the executed test cases. This model assumes an imperfect debugging environment in which new faults are introduced in the fault-correction process. We consider that the fault detection rate of NHPP model is changed in the proposed SRGM. We obtain the maximum likelihood estimate, and compare goodness-of-fit with another existing software reliability growth model.

In this paper, we consider possibility that the multiple errors occur in each testing stage. At present, software reliability modeling is considered as a part of software reliability quality assurance in software engineering. However they dealt with the software growth model for the single error debugging at each testing stage until now. Hence it is necessary to study software reliability with multiple errors debugging. Therefore we propose software reliability growth modeling and estimate the parameters in the proposed software reliability growth model for the multiple errors debugging at each testing stage.

Many software reliability growth models (SRGM's) based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) have been proposed by many researchers. Most of the SRGM's which have been proposed up to the present treat the event of software fault-detection in the testing and operational phases as a counting process. However, if the size of the software system is large, the number of software faults detected during the testing phase becomes large, and the change of the number of faults which are detected and removed through debugging activities becomes sufficiently small compared with the initial fault content at the beginning of the testing phase. Therefore, in such a situation, we can model the software fault-detection process as a stochastic process with a continuous state space. In this paper, we propose a new software reliability growth model describing the fault-detection process by applying a mathematical technique of stochastic differential equations of an Ito type. We also compare our model with the existing SRGM's in terms of goodness-of-fit for actual data sets.
