Defects and reliability analysis of large software systems: field experience
Y. H. Levendel · 2003
The contribution of software to the reliability of large distributed systems is addressed. The author analyzes and models the software development process and presents field experience for these large distributed systems. Defect removal is shown to be the bottleneck in achieving the appropriate quality level before system deployment in the field. The author presents a model that relates generic field introduction to the residual defect level and allows reliability prediction since system reliability is related to the residual defect level.>
