ROBUST is a tool for analyzing and predicting the growth of software reliability based on a number of software reliability growth models. It supports four traditional software reliability growth models, as well as Malaiya’s Logarithmic Coverage Model. Capable of working with either time or failure interval data, ROBUST allows for a wide variety of enhancement techniques to be applied to the mod...

Bugs are inevitable in any software development life cycle. Most bugs are detected and removed in the testing phase. In software, we can classify bugs into two categories: (1) bugs of different severity (2) bugs of different complexity. Prior knowledge of bug distribution of different complexity in software can help project managers in allocating testing resources and tools. Various researchers...

This paper investigates a SRGM (Software reliability growth model) based on NHPP (non-homogeneous Poisson process) which incorporates the 4p-Kappa testing effort function. Testing Software reliability is generally a key factor in software quality. Reliability is an essential ingredient in customer satisfaction. In software development process reliability conveys the information to managers to a...

The concern for software reliability has grown over a period of time especially with the advent of real life systems such as satellite and shuttle control, telephone, internet and banking services. In today’s life the computers are being used to monitor and control safety critical and civilian systems with a great demand for high-quality software products. So reliability is a primary concern fo...

In this work, we propose to apply support vector regression (SVR) to build software reliability growth model (SRGM). SRGM is an important aspect in software reliability engineering. Software reliability is the probability that a given software will be functioning without failure during a specified period of time in a specified environment. In order to obtain the better performance of SRGM, prac...

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 d...
