Improved NHPP Software Reliability Growth Model Considering Imperfect Debugging
ICMSS '17: Proceedings of the 2017 International Conference on Management Engineering, Software Engineering and Service Sciences

Although there have been a lot of researches on software reliability growth models, the problem that limited considerations of imperfect debugging phenomenon in the existing models is still not solved. In this paper, we aim for such study and propose a ...
A software reliability growth model for imperfect debugging
Abstract
In general, software reliability growth models (SRGMs) are often developed based on the assumptions of perfect debugging, single error type, and consistent testing environment. However, such the assumptions may be unrealistic for ...
Highlights
- A software reliability growth model with imperfect debugging is constructed.

An Empirical Study of Reliability Growth of Open versus Closed Source Software through Software Reliability Growth Models
APSEC '12: Proceedings of the 2012 19th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference - Volume 01

The purpose of this study is to analyze the reliability growth of Open Source Software (OSS) versus software developed in-house (i.e. Closed Source Software, CSS) using Software Reliability Growth Model. This study uses 22 datasets containing failure ...
