Abstract

This paper studies the collection of appropriate data for software reliability analysis and modeling. Our approach satisfies the data requirements for various reliability models under the constraints imposed by our project environment. These data-model relations and data - environment constraints are characterized to provide a tentative roadmap for data collection. In the process of collecting data for a group of projects in the system testing stage, we encountered various problems and devised solutions and improvement initiatives to deal with them. We summarize our experience in this paper so that similar initiatives in quality improvement under similar environments can be implemented more effectively.
