Software Reliability Growth Model with Efficient Debugging Involving Time Dependent Fault Content Function

Abstract

The paper presents NHPP software reliability growth model exhibiting efficient debugging phenomenon. In efficient debugging, cumulative faults corrected more than the faults responsible for software failures. Proposed model incorporates time dependent exponential fault content function and I/D pattern of learning process. Parameters are estimated by LSE and goodness of fit is performed. Determination of MSE and indicates model is fit better to given dataset. Finally software reliability has been analyzed.
