Abstract

The results from applying the NHPP (non-homogeneous Poisson process) reliability growth model, for estimation of residual errors, to the online processing software which was developed for provision of new telecommunications services are presented. It is disclosed that the NHPP model can very well be applied to the real online processing telecommunications software not only in the testing phase but also in the operation phase. How the modeling method can be used in the life-cycle of software development, including design, development, and maintenance phases, is also discussed
