A Practical Toolkit for Predicting
Software Reliability
The reliability and software
community is in need of a simple, easy to execute toolkit for
predicting software defects, failure rate and other reliability
metrics. In order to be practical, it's essential that this toolkit:
- Be usable by persons who are not software reliability experts
- Be usable early in the project or program before the software
code has been written
- Be easy to execute and interpret
- Have the ability to combine the software reliability
prediction with the system reliability prediction
- Have the ability to define the resources required to achieve a
specific reliability goal
The author will present such a toolkit as well as tips and
lessons learned. The toolkit has step by step instructions for
predicting software defects, failure rate, MTTF, availability,
reliability, and the resources required to achieve a specific
reliability goal. The toolkit does not require any proprietary
software or publications.
Key Words: Software
