A modified software reliability modeling with compounded-decreased-rate

摘要

In order to describe the complexity of software product and development processes, software reliability models need to possess the ability of dealing with multiple parameters, robustness and flexibility. In this paper, based on the principles above, with the compounded rate of removed errors, we derive a powerful, easily deployable technique for software reliability modeling in the testing phases. By comparing with Yuan's model, our model is more adequate in predicting and fits to the real situation in the long run. Moreover, when we collect enough historical failure data of software, prediction results will be fairly accurate.
