All through the procedure of software engineering, software reliability investigation is expert at various stages as a try for the estimation of whether the software necessities have been experienced or not. Amid the underlying periods of software advancement, software reliability expectation methods were exceptionally testing. Various software reliability models have been advanced amid the ant...

Nowadays software systems have very important role in a lot of sensitive and critical applications. Sometimes a small error in software could cause financial or even health loss in critical applications. So reliability assurance as a nunfunctional requirement, is very vital. One of the key tasks to ensure error-free operation of the software, is to have a quantitative measurement of the softwar...

Software reliability is a key part in software quality. It is the ability of the software to perform its specified function under some specific condition. Reliability can be associated with both hardware and software. The hardware reliability can easily be evaluated since hardware get wear out but in case of software it be very difficult. So neural networks have been used for the last few decad...

-Reliability is the one of the important factor of software quality. Past few decades several software reliability growth models are proposed to access the quality of the software. Main challenging task of reliability growth model is predicting the reliability, total cost at optimal time at, software released into the market. It has been observed that most of the reliability growth models predi...

Software Reliability is one of the key factors in the software development process. Software Reliability is estimated using reliability models based on Non Homogenous Poisson Process. In most of the literature the Software Reliability is predicted only in testing phase. So it leads to wrong decision-making concept. In this paper, two Software Reliability concepts, testing and operational phase ...

w w w . i j c s t . c o m InternatIonal Journal of Computer SCIenCe & teChnology 91 Abstract The software industry is in switch over from craft work to engineering practice, but development, operational and maintenance outlays are still capricious and dearer. In the present scenario of software industry there are certain factors that very critical for the success of software. These days there a...

The applications of computer systems have been increased immensely during the last few decades and the system reliability is major concern which is depends upon reliability of software and hardware components. Software testing is quality assurance process which confirms that the product is error free and reliable. The reliability of software is major quality attribute which ensure failu...

We propose a criterion to determine a more appropriate software reliability growth model in the early development phase. The criterion with a discrete software reliability growth model determines the absolute worth of a model because the discrete software reliability growth model perfectly reproduces the parameter estimates when the data are used as an exact solution of the equation. The values...

Context: During systematic literature reviews it is necessary to assess the quality of empirical papers. Current guidelines suggest that two researchers should independently apply a quality checklist and any disagreements must be resolved. However, there is little empirical evidence concerning the effectiveness of these guidelines. Aims: This paper investigates the three techniques that can be ...

Reliability enhancement in software system is a crucial and challenging issue. Applying efficient fault-tolerant mechanism can fulfill the system reliability requirement. This paper proposes reliability models for hierarchical and hybrid fault-tolerant software systems considering failure dependencies or related faults in software components/versions. Our system models are based on the classica...
