Abstract

Many studies show that software reliability growth models (SRGMs) have good performance when considering the randomness of the field environments. In this paper, we propose a new software reliability model incorporating S-shaped testing coverage with the randomness of the field environments. Parameters of the new model are estimated by means of the least square estimation (LSE) method. Comparison of this model with other existing NHPP models has also been presented. Five goodness-of-fit criteria are used to compare the performance of the proposed model with several existing NHPP SRGMs based on one actual failure data set collected from software application. The results show that the proposed model can fit significantly better than all other existing NHPP models.
