Abstract

Software reliability engineering has recently been playing a rapidly increasing role in industry [1]. This has occurred because it carefully plans and guides development and test so that you develop a more reliable product faster and cheaper. In this paper we will first describe what software reliability engineering is. Then we will discuss the current state of the practice; that is, how industry is using it. The current "best" way of practicing software reliability engineering will be discussed. Finally, we will outline some of the important open research questions; solutions to these problems hold great promise for further advances.
