ABSTRACT

The Goel-Okumoto software reliability model, also known as the Exponential Nonhomogeneous Poisson Process,is one of the earliest software reliability models to be proposed. From literature, it is evident that most of the study that has been done on the Goel-Okumoto software reliability model is parameter estimation using the MLE method and model fit. It is widely known that predictive analysis is very useful for modifying, debugging and determining when to terminate software development testing process. However, there is a conspicuous absence of literature on both the classical and Bayesian predictive analyses on the model. This paper presents some results about predictive analyses for the Goel-Okumoto software reliability model. Driven by the requirement of highly reliable software used in computers embedded in automotive, mechanical and safety control systems, industrial and quality process control, real-time sensor networks, aircrafts, nuclear reactors among others, we address four issues in single-sample prediction associated closely with software development process. We have adopted Bayesian methods based on non-informative priors to develop explicit solutions to these problems. An example with real data in the form of time between software failures will be used to illustrate the developed methodologies.
