Predicting Release Time Based on Generalized Software Reliability Model (GSRM)
Kiyoshi Honda, Hironori Washizaki, Yoshiaki Fukazawa · 2014
Development environments have changed drastically, development periods are shorter than ever and the number of team members has increased. Especially in open source software (OSS), a large number of developers contribute to OSS. OSS has difficulties in predicting or deciding when it will be released. In order to assess recent software developments, we proposed a generalized software reliability model (GSRM) based on a stochastic process, and compared GSRM with other models. In this paper, we focus on the release dates of OSS and the growth of faults (issues).
