Software Reliability Growth Model Considering First-Step and Second-Step Fault Dependency

As one of the most important indexes to evaluate the quality of software, software reliability experiences an increasing development in recent years. We investigate a software reliability growth model (SRGM). The application of this model is to predict the occurrence of the software faults based on the non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP). Unlike the independent assumptions in other models, we consider fault dependency. The testing faults are...
