Change-point modeling with difference in software failure-occurrence time-interval for reliability assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses change-point modeling for software reliability assessment with a relationship of the software failure-occurrence time-interval before and after change point by using a testing-environmental function. In an actual testing phase of a software development process, it might be better to consider that there exists a relationship between the time intervals before change-point and those after change-point because the software product is not changed during the testing phase. Our modeling framework enables us to develop a software reliability growth model with effect of change-point by giving a suitable software failure-occurrence time distribution before change-point. Finally, we show examples of the application of software reliability analysis based on our model by using actual data.

A Bivariate Software Reliability Model with Change-Point and Its Applications
Testing-time when a change of a stochastic characteristic of the software failure-occurrence time or software failure-occurrence time-interval is observed is called change-point. It is said that effect of the change-point on the software reliability growth process influences on accuracy for software reliability assessment based on a software reliability growth model (SRGM). We propose an SRGM w...
متن کاملDiscrete Program-Size Dependent Software Reliability Assessment: Modeling, Estimation, and Goodness-of-Fit Comparisons
In this paper we propose a discrete program-size dependent software reliability growth model flexibly describing the software failure-occurrence phenomenon based on a discrete Weibull distribution. We also conduct model comparisons of our discrete SRGM with existing discrete SRGMs by using actual data sets. The program size is one of the important metrics of software complexity. It is known tha...
متن کاملChange-Point Modeling for Software Reliability Measurement Depending on Two-Dimensional Software Reliability Growth Factors
It is known that the trend of the software reliability growth process changes during testing or operation phases in an actual environment due to a change of specification, software upgrading, a change of fault-target, and so forth. This paper discusses an extended two-dimensional software reliability growth modeling, in which the software reliability growth process is assumed to depend on the s...
متن کاملCold standby redundancy optimization for nonrepairable series-parallel systems: Erlang time to failure distribution
In modeling a cold standby redundancy allocation problem (RAP) with imperfect switching mechanism, deriving a closed form version of a system reliability is too difficult. A convenient lower bound on system reliability is proposed and this approximation is widely used as a part of objective function for a system reliability maximization problem in the literature. Considering this lower bound do...
