Machine Learning Approach for Software Reliability Growth Modeling with Infinite Testing Effort Function

Box 3

Procedure for software release time determination to stop testing.

() Set the target failure intensity to stop testing that depends on the software failure data set and customer requirements.

() In Phase I, estimate the parameters upto 25% of total number of failures in the software failure data set.

() Find the Optimal Testing Time () needed to meet the target failure intensity using .

() In the next Phase, estimate the parameters upto with the software failure data set.

   Repeat step with the updated estimated parameters.

() Find the .

   if

    it is less than or equal to target then stop testing.

   else

    repeat step () till the target failure intensity achieved with the required .
