Abstract

In general, software reliability models have focusedon modeling and predicting failure occurrence and havenot given equal priority to modeling the fault correctionprocess. However, there is a need for fault correctionprediction, because there are important applications thatfault correction modeling and prediction support. Theseare the following: predicting whether reliability goalshave been achieved, developing stopping rules for testing,formulating test strategies, and rationally allocating testresources. Because these factors are related, we integratethem in our model. Our modeling approach involvesrelating fault correction to failure prediction, with a timedelay estimated from a fault correction queuing model.
