Current software reliability growth models based on Gompertz growth curve are all logarithmic type. Software reliability growth models based on logarithmic type Gompertz growth curve has difficulties in parameter estimation. Therefore this paper proposes a software reliability growth model based on the logistic type Gompertz growth curie. Its usefulness is empirically verified by analyzing the failure data sets obtained from 13 different software projects. The parameters of model are estimated by linear regression through variable transformation or Virene's method. The proposed model is compared with respect to the average relative prediction error criterion. Experimental results show that the pro-posed model performs better the models based on the logarithmic type Gompertz growth curve.

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.

Park, Seo and Kim (12) developed the input domain-based SRGM, which was able to quantitatively assess the reliability of a software system during the testing and operational phases. They assumed perfect debugging during testing and debugging phase. To make this input domain-based SRGM more realistic, this assumption should be relaxed. In this paper we generalize the input domain-based SRGM under imperfect debugging. Then its statistical characteristics are investigated.

In this paper, a reliability growth analysis for a next-generation high-speed train was conducted. First, the high-speed train was decomposed into 6 sub-systems and main equipment of the high-speed train was derived from functional diagrams. Next, failure rates were calculated for each sub-system from the failure data obtained during commissioning tests. Then, reliability growth analysis was conducted for the high-speed train using the Duane model. The results show that activities to increase reliability were carried out throughout the test runs from the reliability growth results.

In crack growth life, uncertainties are caused by variance of geometry, applied loads and material properties. Therefore, the reliability estimation for these uncertainties is required to keep the robustness of calculated life. The stress intensity factors are the most important variable in crack growth life calculation, but its equation is hard to know for complex geometry, therefore they are processed by the finite element analysis which takes long time. In this paper, the response surface is considered to increase efficiency of the reliability analysis for crack growth life of a turbine wheel. The approximation model of the stress intensity factors is obtained by the regression analysis for FEA data and the response surface of crack growth life is generated for selected factors. The reliability analysis is operated by the Monte Carlo Simulation for the response surface. The results indicate that the response surface could reduce computations that need for reliability analysis for the turbine wheel, which is hard to derive stress intensity factor equation, successfully.

By using the failure information and the cumulative test execution time obtained by performing the reliability growth test, it is possible to estimate the parameter of the reliability growth model, and the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of the product can be predicted through the parameter estimation. However the failure information could be acquired periodically or the number of sample data of the obtained failure information could be small. Because there are various constraints such as the cost and time of test or the characteristics of the product. This may cause the error of the parameter estimation of the reliability growth model to increase. In this study, the Bayesian method is applied to estimating the parameters of the reliability growth model when the number of sample data for the fault information is small. Simulation results show that the estimation accuracy of Bayesian method is more accurate than that of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) respectively in estimation the parameters of the reliability growth model.

Recently relationships between reliability measures and the coverage have been developed for evaluation of software reliability. Particularly the mean value function of the coverage-based software reliability growth model is important because of its key role in rep-resenting the software reliability growth. In this paper, we first review the problems of the existing mean value functions with respect to the assumptions on which they are based. Then a new mean value function is proposed. The new mean value function is developed for a general testing environment in which imperfect fault detection and repeated construct execution are allowed. Finally performance of the proposed model is empirically evaluated by applying it to a real data set.

When developing weapons systems, it is important to implement the functions and performance of equipment suitable for development purposes, but it is very important to ensure that the equipment is capable of operating without any vacuum with reliability after development. Therefore, various activities are carried out to enhance reliability of equipment. Reliability is enhanced by using high-specification parts in development, reliability verification through analysis, and testing using development prototypes to reinforce and improve the parts that are lacking in equipment. However, recently, development schedules are shortened due to rapidly changing external conditions and technologies, and there are cases where sufficient reliability growth activities were not carried out due to problems such as cost. Examples are projects that perform reliability activities only in analytical methods (reliability, FMECA). In this paper, analyzing and testing methods for analysis and testing were carried out on the same equipment through FMECA and super-accelerated life test, the contents of reliability growth activity were derived, the results of design change/review were accordingly compared, the differences between the two methods were analyzed, and measures were proposed to strengthen reliable growth activities. It was concluded that reliable growth activities through analysis from the beginning of development and reliable growth activities through testing should be carried out at the completion of initial prototype production.

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.
