To evaluate the reliability of software quantitatively, a test is executed at the final stage of software development. Then errors existing in the software are corrected. In the testing phase, the functions and modules actually tested in the software are related closely to the quantity and quality of the imposed test case, and increase with the progress of the testing.
In this paper, the set of functions and modules affected by the test in the software is called testing‐domain. A software reliability growth model is discussed, where the increase/expansion of the testing‐domain is assumed to be related to the error detection of the software errors. A result is shown where the model is applied to the actual software error data. A comparison is made from the viewpoint of matching with other software reliability growth models.
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.
