A variety of reliability growth models provide quantified measures of test effectiveness in terms that are directly relevant to project management [Lyu96], but at the cost of restricting testing to representative selection, in which test data is chosen to reflect the operational distribution of the program's inputs. During testing, data is collected on the observed times between program failures (or, similarly, numbers of failures within a time interval). These observations are fitted to one of various models, which can then be used to estimate the current reliability of the program.
