An improved model of software reliability growth under time-dependent learning effects
Kuei‐Chen Chiu · 2011
Over the last two decades, various software reliability growth models (SRGM) have been proposed, and there has been a gradual but marked shift in the balance between software reliability and software testing cost in recent years. Chiu and Huang (2008) provided a Software Reliability Growth Model from the Perspective of Learning Effects, which is able to reasonably describe the S-shaped and exponential-shaped types of behaviors simultaneously, and offers better performance when fitting different data with consideration of the learning effects. However, this earlier model assumes that the learning effects are constant. In contrast, this paper discusses a software reliability growth model with time-dependent learning effects.
