Software Reliability Estimation: Gompertz
نویسندگان
چکیده
oftware Reliability Growth Model is a mathematical model of how the software reliability improves as faults are detected and repaired. The performance of SRGM is judged by its ability to fit the software failure data. How good does a mathematical model fit to the data and reliability of software is presented in the current paper. The model under consideration is the, Gompertz model. MLE method is used to estimate the model parameters. To assess the performance of the considered Software Reliability Growth Model, we have carried out the parameter estimation on the real software failure data sets. Keywords— Gompertz model, Maximum Likelihood Estimation, SRGM, AIC, Goodness Of Fit, Software Reliability.

Comparing between Maximum Likelihood and Least Square Estimators for Gompertz Software Reliability Model
Software reliability models (SRMs) are very important for estimating and predicting software reliability in the testing/debugging phase. The contributions of this paper are as follows. First, a historical review of the Gompertz SRM is given. Based on several software failure data, the parameters of the Gompertz software reliability model are estimated using two estimation methods, the tradition...
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...
متن کاملA Discrete Gompertz Equation and a Software Reliability Growth Model
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 tend...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis and Model Validation of Gompertz Model on different Real Data Sets for Reliability Modelling
A very basic problem in reliability modeling is to obtain information about the form of the population from which the sample is drawn. Goodness of fit test is employed on different real data sets to determine how well the observed sample data "fits" on proposed model for reliability analysis. In this paper, we obtain the tables and graphs of critical values of Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test, and ...
متن کاملSoftware Reliability Growth Model with Gompertz TEF and Optimal Release Time Determination by Improving the Test Efficiency
Software reliability growth models were used since long time to access the quality of the software which was developed. Past few decades several papers describes reliability growth phenomenon. As the time progress, the number of errors detection and correction also increases. A Large effort is required in testing to increases the rate of detection and correction of error to increase the reliabi...
