Abstract :
Software reliability growth models base on the NHPP are quite successful tools that have been proposed to assess the software reliability. Various NHPP-SRGMs have been built upon various assumptions such as the number of remaining faults, software failure rate, and software reliability. But in realistic, the number of faults and the detection rate are not constants. They are time functions. In this paper, we aim to incorportate total number function of faults and detection rate function into conditional SRGMs. Experimental results indicate that the new model which proposed in this paper has a fairly accurate prediction capability.
