With increasing pace of technological advancement and new tech introduction in today’s word, reliability of the software has become vital. For software reliability assessment, many software reliability growth models (SRGMs) have been discussed. In literature, many of the existing SRGMs have considered uncertainty of the operating environment but very little work has included testing effort function (TEF) with uncertainty in operating environment. In this research, an SRGM incorporating Gompertz TEF has been investigated with the uncertainty of operating environment. Software testing environment is usually a controlled one with variables known to the developer, but operating environment may introduce uncontrolled and unknown variables. This model has considered a constant fault detection rate in perfect debugging environment. Further, sensitivity analysis has been done. The numerical results have been compared with existing SRGMs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
