General Order Statistics-Based Model

In this chapter, a framework of software reliability models containing both information from software fault detection process and correction process is studied. Different from previous chapters, the proposed approach is based on Markov model other than a nonhomogeneous Poisson process model. Also, parameter estimation is carried out with weighted least-square estimation method which emphasizes the influence of later data on the prediction. Datasets from practical software development projects are applied with the proposed framework, which shows satisfactory performance with the results.
