Study of the Warranty Cost Model for Software Reliability with an Imperfect Debugging Phenomenon
نویسنده
چکیده
Software reliability is one of the most important characteristics of software quality. Its measurement and management technologies employed during the software life-cycle are essential for producing and maintaining quality/reliable software systems. Herein, we discuss a modified approach to calculating the delivery cost of a software product, when warranty is to be provided, with an imperfect debugging phenomenon. Unlike existing cost models, here the strategy was to consider maintenance support given to the customer with an imperfect debugging phenomenon. The optimal release time can be calculated for various reliability levels by minimizing the cost. The delivery cost, reliability of the software system, and the optimal release time were calculated by using an imperfect debugging software reliability growth model. Numerical illustration supports the optimal release policies.

Nowadays, offering extended warranty is considered as a lucrative source of income from the perspective of the after-sale service providers. Meanwhile, the main concern is presence or absence of base warranty and strategies adopted by the manufacturer during this period. Moreover, extended warranty structure must be responsive and customer oriented, which not only control the services cost but ...

The fault debugging progress is influenced by various factors all of which may not be deterministic in nature such as the debugging effort, debugging efficiency and debuggers skill, and debugging methods and strategies. In order to address these realistic factors that influencing the debugging process we propose an integrated nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) based software reliability mode...

Abstract: This paper presents a discrete software reliability growth model (SRGM) and introduces the concept of two types of imperfect debugging during software fault removal phenomenon with Logistic Fault removal rate. Most of the discrete SRGMs discussed in the literature seldom differentiate between the failure observation and fault removal processes. In real software development environment...
