A SRGM using time dependent delay effect in fault detection and removal phenomenon

Abstract

Many software reliability growth models are based on this approach that software faults are independent and removed immediately as they detected. But in realistic situation, some factors affect the debugging process during testing such that complicity of faults, Imperfect debugging, debugger’s efficiency etc. In this paper, to fill the all these gaps a delay function is used to improve the efficiency of SRGM. A comprehensive analysis of optimal release policies based on cost and reliability is additionally provided, which could facilitate software engineers to see the most effective best optimal time to release the software package into marketplace for operational use. In the last, experimental results show the better performance of the proposed model than the other existing model.
