Software Reliability Growth Models
R. Pełka · 2012
History of research on reliability of software began in the early seventies of the last century. A significant progress of the work aimed at the construction of a mathematical model of software reliability growth has been performed since the first publication devoted to this subject was presented. Analysis of existing literature may lead to the conclusion that there is no universal solution which could be applied in every single case. However, it is possible to classify existing models, based on their characteristics such as data domain, the way to describe faults discovered during testing process, the way to express reliability, or other remaining assumptions, including mathematical concepts used in the evaluation process. This article presents an overview of existing solutions related to software reliability modelling, focusing on variety of aspects and methods used within this process.
