Abstract

A simplified simulation study of an actual software development effort is presented. A model is developed and exercised through various stages of modifications to an originally unreliable soft ware design until viable software design results. Techniques in model development, simulation, analysis, and language capability which lead to enhanced software reliability are discussed. Uniquenesses in the approach presented are contrasted to simulation methods which lack this capability.
