The Binomial Sensitivity Factor Hyper-Geometric Distribution SoftwareReliability Growth Model for Imperfect Debugging Environment
Seong Hee Kim, Joong Yang Park, Jae Heung Park · The Transactions of the Korea Information Processing Society · 2000
The hyper-geometric distribution software reliability growth model (HGDM) usually assumes that all the software faults detected are perfectly removed without introducing new faults. However, since new faults can be introduced during the test-and-debug phase, the perfect debugging assumption should be relaxed. In this context, Hou, Kuo and Chang [7] developed a modified HGDM for imperfect debugging environment, assuming tat the learning factor is constant. In this paper we extend the existing imperfect debugging HGDM for tow respects: introduction of random sensitivity factor and allowance of variable learning factor. Then the statistical characteristics of he suggested model are studied and its applications to two real data sets are demonstrated.
