Truncated Software Reliability Growth Model Based on Linear Failure Rate Model - Release Time Policy

摘要

A Non Homogenous Poisson Process (NHPP) with its mean value function generated by the cumulative distribution function of linear failure rate distribution is considered. We consider some truncated time values and use them in the mean value function of NHPP. The variation of the original mean value function and the mean value function at the truncated time is considered. A decision is taken to stop testing the software based on the difference between the mean value function and the mean value function at the truncated time. Truncated reliability aspects are discussed using four data sets.
