SSRGM: Software Strong Reliability Growth Model Based on Failure Loss

Failures that exist in software cause tremendous damage and bring large amount of loss. Thus the research of software trustworthiness has been attracted much attention from all over the world. By considering the impact of failure loss, the traditional definition of software reliability is redefined in this paper and improved to software strong reliability. Based on this new definition and traditional J-M model, a new model called SSRGM is proposed along with its mathematical relationship and implementation based on Markov Chain. Besides, through experiment and analysis, the conclusion that this model is correct and effective is drawn.
