A Cost Model Based on Customer's Reliability Requirement and the Effect of Software Failure
Shen Yuan-long · Computer Technology and Development · 2011
Most of the papers discuss the minimum cost problem on condition that the reliability of the software has measured up to customers' requirements without taking the effect to the total cost caused by the reliability when released and the failure after released to the customers into account.Therefore it researches this problem in detail.Present a new software cost model to analyze the optimum software release time.It not only takes the basic testing expenditure,the cost during the run phase and human resource cost into account,but also the customer's reliability requirements and the risk charge due to the software failure.And then analyze the optimun release time and get some useful and practical conclusions.And rigorous mathematical justification is given and use a group of experienced data to illustrate this more practical model.
