Practical issues in implementing software reliability measurement
نویسنده
چکیده
• More accurately focus scarce fault identification resources on those portions of a software system most in need of it. • Estimate and forecast the risk of exposure to residual faults in a software system during operation, and develop risk and safety criteria to guide the release of a software system to fielded use. • Estimate the efficiency of test suites in detecting residual faults. • Estimate the stability of the software maintenance process.

Practical Guidelines for Measurement-Based Process Improvement
Despite significant progress in the last 15 years, implementing a successful measurement program for software development is still a challenging undertaking. Most problems are not of theoretical but of methodological or practical nature. In this article, we present lessons learned from experiences with goal-oriented measurement. We structure them into practical guidelines for efficient and usef...
متن کاملAiaa-99-4456 Practical Issues in Estimating Fault Content and Location in Software Systems
Over the past several years, techniques have been developed to discriminate between fault-prone software modules and those that are not, and to estimate a software system’s residual fault content. These techniques can be applied during the stages of a development effort prior to test, thereby giving software managers greater visibility into the systems being developed and allowing them to exert...
متن کاملProblems in measuring effectiveness in software process improvement: A longitudinal study of organizational change at Danske Data
Software process improvement (SPI) is a widely recognized approach that software companies implement to improve quality, productivity, and time-to-market. Assessing and analyzing performance improvements are important SPI activities. However, many SPI managers have found it difficult to develop and implement effective performance measurement programs for SPI, in part because guidelines for cond...
متن کاملA Software Reliability Tool-Kit
In this paper the authors try to address and give first solutions to this problem, defining and implementing a portable tool-kit aimed at the automatic collection, processing and analysis of failure data in order to assess and predict reliability. The work has been accomplished within the ESPRIT II SCOPE project which aims at defining software assessment and certification procedures, demonstrat...
متن کاملMeasuring Process Consistency: Implications for Reducing Software Defects
ÐIn this paper, an empirical study that links software process consistency with product defects is reported. Various measurement issues such as validity, reliability, and other challenges in measuring process consistency at the project level are discussed. A measurement scale for software process consistency is introduced. An empirical study that uses this scale to measure consistency in achiev...
