Sequential Bayesian technique: An alternative approach for software reliability estimation

Estimation of Software Reliability by Sequential Testing with Simulated Annealing of Mean Field Approximation

Various problems of combinatorial optimization and permutation can be solved with neural network optimization. The problem of estimating the software reliability can be solved with the optimization of failed components to its minimum value. Various solutions of the problem of estimating the software reliability have been given. These solutions are exact and heuristic, but all the exact approach...

Fuzzy reliability estimation using Bayesian approach

The Bayesian reliability estimation under fuzzy environments is proposed in this paper. In order to apply the Bayesian approach, the fuzzy parameters are assumed to be fuzzy random variables with fuzzy prior distributions. The (conventional) Bayesian estimation method will be used to create the fuzzy Bayes point estimator of reliability by invoking the well-known theorem called ‘Resolution Iden...

The Primed In Situ (PRINS) Technique: An Alternative Approach for Preimplantation Chromosomal Diagnosis

Enhancing Software Reliability Estimation Using Bayesian Networks and Fault Trees

A majority of mission-critical or safety-critical systems are complex computer-controlled systems, which are increasingly relying on software to provide added functionality. Although improved design techniques and development methodologies have reduced the software engineering cycle time, the complexity of software design and analysis has increased. The probabilistic assessment of software safe...

An Improved Algorithmic Method for Software Development Effort Estimation

Accurate estimating is one of the most important activities in the field of software project management. Different aspects of software projects must be estimated among which time and effort are of significant importance to efficient project planning. Due to complexity of software projects and lack of information at the early stages of project, reliable effort estimation is a challenging issue. ...
