Abstract :
In order to solve software reliability problems, in this paper we propose a description of the testing process based on input domain which is on the basis of the random testing processing. Then in accordance with the definition of Bayesian methods we defines the prior distribution of the reliability of the software. Finally, we gain the posterior distribution of the estimated variable using the prior distribution and overall distribution so as to the reliability of the software is evaluated.
