Automation of Assessment and Approximation of Software Reliability

Abstract

Software reliability is defined as the probability of software to deliver correct service over a period of time under a specified environment. This is becoming more and more important in various software organizations to discover the faults that occur commonly during development process. As the demand of the software application programs increases the quality becomes higher and higher and the reliability of these software becomes more essential. Hence Software reliability is mentioned to be as the one of the important factor during development. Many analytical models were being proposed over the years for assessing the reliability of a software system and for modeling the growth trends of software reliability with different capabilities of prediction at different testing phases. In our work, a JAVA based automation program has been developed for automatic calculation of MTTR,MTTF, MTBF and Availability, Reliability. Approximation of Software Reliability to test the accuracy level is also automated and presented in our work.
