A general software reliability model for performance prediction

Abstract In this paper we give a general Markov process formulation for a software reliability model and present expressions for software performance measures. We discuss a general model and derive the maximum likelihood estimates for the required parameters of this model. The generality of this model is demonstrated by showing that the Jelinski-Moranda model and the Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process (NHPP) model are both very special cases of our model. In this process we also correct some errors in a previous paper of the NHPP model.
