A Bivariate Software Reliability Model with Change-Point and Its Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Testing-time when a change of a stochastic characteristic of the software failure-occurrence time or software failure-occurrence time-interval is observed is called change-point. It is said that effect of the change-point on the software reliability growth process influences on accuracy for software reliability assessment based on a software reliability growth model (SRGM). We propose an SRGM with the effect of the change-point based on a bivariate SRGM, in which the software reliability growth process is assumed to depend on the testing-time and testing-effort factors simultaneously, for accurate software reliability assessment. And we discuss an optimal software release problem for deriving optimal testing-effort expenditures based on our model. Further, we show numerical examples of software reliability assessment based on our bivariate SRGM and estimation of optimal testing-effort expenditures by using actual data.

The parallel systems are special important types of coherent structures and have many applications in various areas.In this paper we consider a two-exchangeable-component parallel system for the Generalized Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (Generalized FGM) distribution. We study the reliability properties of the residual lifetime of the system under the condition that both components of the system ar...

Software reliability models play a dominant role in the analysis of failure data for real time command and control software systems. Goel and Okumoto model is a non homogenous Poisson Process software reliability growth model which has gained a lot of importance in software reliability analysis and prediction. The process of parameter estimation is the major drawback of this model because the i...
متن کاملStress-Strength and Ageing Intensity Analysis via a New Bivariate Negative Gompertz-Makeham Model
In Demography and modelling mortality (or failure) data the univariate Makeham-Gompertz is well-known for its extension of exponential distribution. Here, a bivariate class of Gompertz--Makeham distribution is constructed based on random number of extremal events. Some reliability properties such as ageing intensity, stress-strength based on competing risks are given. Also dependence properties...
متن کاملChange-Point Modeling for Software Reliability Measurement Depending on Two-Dimensional Software Reliability Growth Factors
It is known that the trend of the software reliability growth process changes during testing or operation phases in an actual environment due to a change of specification, software upgrading, a change of fault-target, and so forth. This paper discusses an extended two-dimensional software reliability growth modeling, in which the software reliability growth process is assumed to depend on the s...
متن کاملEstimation of Count Data using Bivariate Negative Binomial Regression Models
Abstract Negative binomial regression model (NBR) is a popular approach for modeling overdispersed count data with covariates. Several parameterizations have been performed for NBR, and the two well-known models, negative binomial-1 regression model (NBR-1) and negative binomial-2 regression model (NBR-2), have been applied. Another parameterization of NBR is negative binomial-P regression mode...
