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.

Software reliability growth models are used in testing stages of software development to model the error content and time intervals between software failures. This paper presents a stochastic model for the software failure phenomenon based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process(NHPP) and performs Bayesian inference using prior information. The failure process is analyzed to develop a suitable mean value function for the NHPP ; expressions are given for several performance measure. Actual software failure data are compared with several model on the constant reflecting the quality of testing. The performance measures and parametric inferences of the suggested models using Rayleigh distribution and Laplace distribution are discussed. The results of the suggested models are applied to real software failure data and compared with Goel model. Tools of parameter point inference and 95% credible intereval was used method of Gibbs sampling. In this paper, model selection using the sum of the squared errors was employed. The numerical example by NTDS data was illustrated.

Recently, Software Development was applied to new-approach methods as a various form : client-server system and web-programing, object-orient concept, distributed development with a network environments. On the other hand, it be concerned about the distributed development technology and increasing of object-oriented methodology. These technology is spread out the software quality and improve of software production, reduction of the software develop working. Futures, we considered about the distributed software development technique with a many workstation. In this paper, we discussed optimal release problem based on a stochastic differential equation model for the distributed Software development environments. In the past, the software reliability applied to quality a rough guess with a software development process and approach by the estimation of reliability for a test progress. But, in this paper, we decided to optimal release times two method: first, SRGM with an error counting model in fault detection phase by NHPP. Second, fault detection is change of continuous random variable by SDE(stochastic differential equation). Here, we decide to optimal release time as a minimum cost form the detected failure data and debugging fault data during the system test phase and operational phase. Especially, we discussed to limitation of reliability considering of total software cost probability distribution.

In this paper, the optimal model for specific test data was selected autimatically among sofware reliability growh models bassed on NAPP(Non Homogeneous Posission Preocess), and in result the tool for the reliability estimating scales was implemented.Whith the implemented tool, software optimal rekiability estimating scales(total expected number errors, error detection rate, expected number of errors remaining in the sortware, reliability, ete) could be predicted. By the reliability estimating scales gained form this, sofware development and projecr management could be applied. In order to test the optimal of the implemented tool, the comparicon with other paper and analization was done by using actual error data.

소프트웨어의 신뢰성을 정량적으로 평가하는 데 있어서 소프트웨어 개발 프로세스의 시험단계나 사용자의 운용단계에 처한 동적 환경상태에서 소프트웨어 고장발생기능 현상을 기술한 소프트웨어 신뢰도성장모델을 많이 제안하고 있다. 대다수의 모델이 발생된 소프트웨어 고장의 발생원인에 대한 완전한 수정을 요구하는 완전 디버깅 환경을 가정하고 있다. 그러나 실제 개발자가 디버깅 작업을 수행할 때 완전한 수정이 불가능하기 때문이다. 다시 말해서 여러 소프트웨어 개발자가 경험한 이러한 디버깅 작업을 행하는 경우에는 결함을 제거하는 데 한계가 있기 때문에 수정 작업시 새로운 결함이 삽입되는 경우가 많다. 즉, 결함 수정은 불완전 환경에 처한다. 본 논문에서는 결함 수정시 신규 결함의 삽입 가능성을 고려하고 불완전 디버깅 환경에 대한 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장모델을 제안한다. 소프트웨어 동작 환경 하에서 발생된 소프트웨어 고장과 시험 전 소프트웨어 내의 고유 결함에 의한 고장과 동작중에 랜덤하게 삽입된 결함에 의해 발생되는 고장 등 2종류의 결함을 고려하여 비동차 포아송과정(NHPP)에 의한 소프트웨어 고장발생 현상을 기술한다. 또한 소프트웨어 신뢰성 평가에 유용한 정량적인 척도를 도출하고 실측 데이터를 이용하여 적용한 결과를 제시하고 기존의 모델과의 적합성을 비교, 분석한다.

We propose a software-reliability growth model incoporating the amount of uniform and Weibull testing efforts during the software testing phase in this paper. The time-dependent behavior of testing effort is described by uniform and Weibull curves. Assuming that the error detection rate to the amount of testing effort spent during the testing phase is proportional to the current error content, the model is formulated by a nonhomogeneous Poisson process. Using this model the method the data analysis for software reliability measurement is developed. The optimum release time is determined by considering how the initial reliability R($\chi$ 0) would be. The conditions are ($R\chi$ 0)＞$R_{o}$ , $P_{o}$ ＞R($\chi$ 0)＞ $R_{o}$ $^{d}$ and R($\chi$ 0)＜$R_{o}$ $^{d}$ for uniform testing efforts. deal case is $P_{o}$ ＞($R\chi$ 0)＞ $R_{o}$ $^{d}$ Likewise, it is ($R\chi$ 0)$\geq$$R_{o}$ , $R_{o}$ ＞($R\chi$ 0)＞R(eqation omitted) and ($R\chi$ 0)＜R(eqation omitted)for Weibull testing efforts. Ideal case is $R_{o}$ ＞ R($\chi$ 0)＞ R(eqation omitted).
