This paper proposes a software-reliability growth model incoporating the amount of testing effort expended during the software testing phase after developing it. The time-dependent behavior of testing effort expenditures is described by a Logistic curve. Assuming that the error detection rate to the amount of testing effort spent during the testing phase is proportional to the current error content, a software-reliability growth model is formulated by a nonhomogeneous Poisson process. Using this model the method of data analysis for software reliability measurement is developed. After defining a software reliability, This paper discusses the relations between testing time and reliability and between duration following failure fixing and reliability are studied. SRGM in several literatures has used the exponential curve, Railleigh curve or Weibull curve as an amount of testing effort during software testing phase. However, it might not be appropriate to represent the consumption curve for testing effort by one of already proposed curves in some software development environments. Therefore, this paper shows that a logistic testing-effort function can be adequately expressed as a software development/testing effort curve and that it gives a good predictive capability based on real failure data.

Almost all existing software reliability models are based on the assumptions of he software usage and software failure process. There, therefore, is no universally applicable software reliability model. To develop a universal software reliability model this paper suggests the predictive filter as a general software reliability prediction model for time domain failure data. Its usefulness is empirically verified by analyzing the failure datasets obtained from 14 different software projects. Based on the average relative prediction error, the suggested predictive filter is compared with other well-known neural network models and statistical software reliability growth models. Experimental results show that the predictive filter generally results in a simple model and adapts well across different software projects.

When we estimate the parameters of software reliability models, we usually use maximum liklihood estimator(MLE). But this method is required a large data set. In particular, when we want to estimate it with small observed data such as early stages of testing, we give rise to the non-existence of MLE. Therefore, it is interesting to look into the influence of parameter estimators obtained using MLE. In this paper, we use two non-homogenous poisson process software reliability growth model: delayed S-shaped model and log power model. In this paper, we calculate the sensitivity of estimators about failure intensity function for two SRGMs respectively.

Software reliability in the software development process is an important issue. Software process improvement helps in finishing with reliable software product. Infinite failure NHPP software reliability models presented in the literature exhibit either constant, monotonic increasing or monotonic decreasing failure occurrence rates per fault. In this paper, proposes the reliability model with log type mean value function (Musa-Okumoto and log power 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, was employed. Analysis of failure using real data set for the sake of proposing log type mean value function was employed. This analysis of failure data compared with log type mean value function. In order to insurance for the reliability of data, Laplace trend test was employed. In this study, the log type model is also efficient in terms of reliability because it (the coefficient of determination is 70% or more) in the field of the conventional model can be used as an alternative could be confirmed. From this paper, software developers have to consider the growth model by prior knowledge of the software to identify failure modes which can be able to help.

In general, a software fault detection phenonenon is described by a software reliability model based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process(NHPP). In this paper, we propose a software reliability growth model considering the differences of the software environments in both the testing phase and the operational phase. Also, we consider the problem of determining the optimal release time and the optimal warranty period that minimize the total expected software cost which takes account of periodic software maintenance(e.g. patch, update, etc). Finally, we analyze the sensitivity of the optimal release time and warranty period based on the fault data observed in the actual testing process.

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.

In this paper, the software reliability growth model which incorporates the periodic maintenance after the release is proposed. Using the proposed model, the debugging and periodic maintenance cost subject to the required level of the software reliability are investigated. An optimal software release time is derived for a fixed interval of periodic maintenance. To validate the proposed model, release times obtained in this study are compared with examples. The proposed investigation is expected to be served as one of factors in determining the release time of the software where periodic maintenance is considered.

소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델은 소프트웨어 신뢰도를 정량적으로 평가하기 위해서 사용되며 고장 데이터를 사용해서 소프트웨어 출시일 또는 추가 테스트 노력을 결정하기 위해서도 사용된다. 특정 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델을 모든 소프트웨어에 사용할 수 없기 때문에 평가 대상 소프트웨어에 가장 잘 맞는 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델을 선택하는 것이 중요한 이슈가 되었다. 기존 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델 선택 방법은 수집된 고장 데이터에 대한 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델의 적합도만을 평가하며 앞으로 발생할 고장 예측의 정확도는 고려하지 않는다. 이 논문에서는 고장 데이터의 트렌드와 고장 예측능력을 반영한 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델 선택 방법을 제안한다. 연구의 타당성을 보이기 위하여 실험을 통해서 기존 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델 선택 방법의 문제점을 확인하고 이 논문에서 제안하는 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델 선택 방법을 사용하면 기존 방법에 비해 더 정확한 고장 예측을 하는 신뢰도 모델을 선택할 수 있음을 보인다.

Software reliability growth models are used in testing stages of software development to model the error content and time intervals betwewn software failures. In this paper, using priors for the number of fault with the negative binomial distribution nd the error rate with gamma distribution, Bayesian inference and model selection method for Jelinski-Moranda and Goel-Okumoto and Schick-Wolverton models in software reliability. For model selection, we explored the sum of the relative error, Braun statistic and median variation. In Bayesian computation process, we could avoid the multiple integration by the use of Gibbs sampling, which is a kind of Markov Chain Monte Carolo method to compute the posterior distribution. Using simulated data, Bayesian inference and model selection is studied.
