A plethora of software reliability models have been developed over the years but, in spite of extravagant claims for their efficacy, none can be trusted to give accurate results in all circumstances. This presents potential users with a serious difficulty, and has probably been the main reason why there has been such a poor take-up of these techniques. Recent work in CSR has largely overcome th...

It is very important to select critical operations in software reliability testing and software safety testing. In this paper, a framework for selecting critical operations based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is proposed. The hierarchies of goals, criteria and alternative programs are introduced separately. A preliminary application is practiced to show the method’s application process an...

In this paper, Software Reliability Engineering is a field that developed from ancestry in the reliability disciplines of structural, electrical, and hardware engineering. Reliability models are powerful tools of Software Reliability Engineering for estimating, predicting, devious, and assessing software reliability. On the basis of the review the cataloging of software reliability models has b...

This paper presents the core principles of reliability in software engineering; outlining why reliability testing is critical and specifying the process of measuring reliability. The paper provides insight for both novice and experts in the software engineering field for assessing failure intensity as well as predicting failure of software systems. Measurements are conducted by utilizing inform...
