A Discrete Gompertz Equation and a Software Reliability Growth Model
نویسنده
چکیده
I describe a software reliability growth model that yields accurate parameter estimates even with a small amount of input data. The model is based on a proposed discrete analog of a Gompertz equation that has an exact solution. The difference equation tends to a differential equation on which the Gompertz curve model is defined, when the time interval tends to zero. The exact solution also tends to the exact solution of the differential equation when the time interval tends to zero. The discrete model conserves the characteristics of the Gompertz model because the difference equation has an exact solution. Therefore, the proposed model provides accurate parameter estimates, making it possible to predict in the early test phase when software can be released. key words: software reliability growth model, Gompertz equation, discrete equation, exact solution

متن کاملGompertz software reliability model: Estimation algorithm and empirical validation
Gompertz curve has been used to estimate the number of residual faults in testing phases of software development, especially by Japanese software development companies. Since the Gompertz curve is a deterministic function, the curve cannot be applied to estimating software reliability which is the probability that software system does not fail in a prefixed time period. In this article, we prop...
