Incorporating fault dependent correction delay in SRGM with testing effort and release policy analysis

Software Reliability growth models are helping the software society in predicting and analyzing the software product in terms of quality. In this context several software reliability growth models are proposed in the literature. Majority of models concentrated on fault detection process, ignoring the correction. Error detection, correction and dependency are the important phenomenon for the software reliability models. In this paper we proposed a new SRGM model based on correction lag and error dependency with incorporating the testing effort. All numerical calculations are carried out on real datasets and results are analyzed. By analyzing the results our proposed model fits well for the datasets.
