Software reliability growth models, which are based on nonhomogeneous Poisson processes, are widely adopted tools when describing the stochastic failure behavior and measuring the reliability growth in software systems. Faults in the systems, which eventually cause the failures, are usually connected with each other in complicated ways. Considering a group of networked faults, we raise a new model to examine the reliability of software systems and assess the model's performance from real-world data sets. Our numerical studies show that the new model, capturing networking effects among faults, well fits the failure data. We also formally study the optimal software release policy using the multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT), considering both the reliability attribute and the cost attribute. We find that, if the networking effects among different layers of faults were ignored by the software testing team, the best time to release the software package to the market would be much later while the utility reaches its maximum. Sensitivity analysis is further delivered.

“…The proposed model is motivated by the work of Kapur et al [11] and Pachauri et al [12]. In this section, a Software Reliability Growth Model based on Non Homogenous Poisson Process (NHPP) is developed by incorporating two things, one is the testing effort and second one is dynamic fault.…”

In present era people depend on both hardware and software system. As software system is engrafted in every aspect of computer system, the desired quality of software is an essential concern for many critical system. From last few decades, many software reliability growth models were developed to analyze the growth of reliability. For improving the quality of software, SRGM plays an essential role. The present study proposed a Software Reliability Growth Model with testing effort and dynamic fault. The parameters involved in the proposed model are estimated using least square estimation. The performance of the proposed model is validated using Mean Square Error (MSE), Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and R Squared Error (R 2 ). A proposed Model is compared with existing models reported in literature, and it has been observed that proposed model performed better.
