A Study on the Parameter Estimation for Testing Effort Function of Software

Many software reliability growth model(SRGM) have been proposed for past several decades. Most of these propositions assumed the S/W debugging testing efforts be constant or even did not consider them. A few papers were presented as the software reliability evaluation considering the testing effort was important afterwards. The testing effort forms which have been presented by this kind of papers were exponential, Rayleigh, Weibull, or Logistic functions, and one of these 4 types was used as a testing effort function depending on the S/W developing circumstances. We consider the methology to evaluate the SRGN using least square estimator(LSE) and maximum likelihood estimator(MLE) for those 4 functions, and then examine parameters applying actual data adopted from real field test of developing S/W.
