چکیده
In this paper, we provide a detailed comparison between various models that have been provided in literature for predicting faults in the software testing process. They are commonly known as software reliability models. In this paper we discuss an experimental evaluation of software reliability analysis using parametric and nonparametric methods. The experimental data set for different, small and large projects were used. We used the normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) as evaluation criteria. The experiments show that the non-parametric models are superior when compared to the parametric models in their ability to provide an accurate estimate when historical data is missing. A comparison among the power, exponential, S-Shape parametric, regression models and the neural network and fuzzy logic models are provided. 2. Software reliability model selections Selection of a particular model is a challenging problem for software reliability prediction. There are two reasons for that. They are the selection of the release time and the value of resource allocation decision. These factors can affect the accuracy of the prediction. In the past, several solutions have been proposed to address the solution for the abovedescribed problems. They are [6]:

متن کاملA comparison of parametric and non-parametric methods of standardized precipitation index (SPI) in drought monitoring (Case study: Gorganroud basin)
The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is the most common index for drought monitoring. Although the calculation of this index is usually done by using the gamma distribution fitting of precipitation data, studies have shown that for accurate monitoring of drought, the optimal distribution of precipitation in each month should be determined. On the other hand, in non-stationary time series,...

متن کاملPredicting Software Reliability with Neural Network Ensembles
Software reliability is an important factor for quantitatively characterizing software quality and estimating the duration of software testing period. Traditional parametric software reliability growth models (SRGMs) such as nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) models have been successfully utilized in practical software reliability engineering. However, no single such parametric model can obt...
