A multifaceted model for software reliability prediction during testing

Journal Title: Computer Science and Mathematical Modelling - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 13

Abstract

Analysis of software reliability plays an important role in quality assurance plan realization during software development. By monitoring changes of evaluated reliability in relation to quality objectives it is possible to analyze current situation in respect to agreed requirements and initiate appropriate actions when needed to secure fulfilling of the goals. The use of software reliability growth models as the only method for reliability evaluation seems to be too much simplified approach. Such approach, based solely on fault detection history, may in some circumstances be risky and lead to significantly wrong decisions related to the software validation process. Taking possible pros and cons into account the model described in this paper is proposed to use a number of additional information concerning the software being tested and the validation process itself, to produce more accurate outcomes from the reliability analysis. The produced outcome gives an appropriate feedback for a decision makers, taking into account assumed software development process characteristic. Integral part of the presented approach is devoted to reliability characteristics of a system being tested in parallel by several independent teams.
