Software Reliability Modeling and Its Applications: Fundamental Survey
Shigeru Yamada · 한국신뢰성학회 학술대회논문집 · 2014
Software reliability is one of the most important characteristics of software quality. Its measurement and management technologies during the software life-cycle are essential to produce and maintain quality/reliable software systems. In this talk, we discuss software reliability modeling and its applications. As to software reliability modeling, hazard rate and NHPP models are investigated particularly for quantitative software reliability assessment. Further, imperfect debugging and software availability models are also discussed for incorporating practical factors of dynamic software behavior. And three software management problems are discussed as an application technology of software reliability models : Optimal software release problem, Statistical testing-progress control, and optimal testing-effort allocation problem.
