Abstract

ENGLISH ABSTRACTA Non-Homogenous Poisson Process (NHPP) model whose failure intensity function has the same mathematical form as that of a generalized exponential function was proposed for application as a Software Reliability Growth Model (SRGM). However, in order to facilitate collecting quality metrics pertaining to the degree of imperfect or efficient debugging phenomena and the number of faults left in the software, in this paper the authors propose an extension to the above SRGM. This SRGM enables adequate goodness of fit statistic and predictive validity, even when the software projects witness learning phenomenon of the testing team, either imperfect or perfect or efficient software debugging phenomenon, as well as wide fluctuations in time between failures
