The Fractal Prediction Model of Software Reliability Based on Wavelet

Software failure time series analysis is an important part of the research of software reliability. Wavelet methods have been frequently used for time series analysis with high speed and accuracy. In this paper we apply the fractal model based on wavelet techniques to estimate software reliability. Analyzing the empirical failure data and comparison with the classical models validate the validity of the model. A new idea for the research of the software failure mechanism is provided.
