Abstract

Reflecting the software fault debugging procedure or environment of testing activities on software reliability models is often discussed as the approaches for improving assessment accuracy for model-based reliability assessment. We discuss a modeling approach reflecting software debugging procedure based on phase-type modeling scheme and propose probability models for software reliability measurement. Further, we give brief consideration for the usefulness of this modeling approach by using a few data sets.

Keywords- Software debugging process, Phase-type probability distribution, Software reliability assessment, Mathematical model.
