Analysis of Software Reliability Models for Reliability Estimation

Software reliability has been considered as a crucial parameter in the measurement of software quality. In the present scenario, software companies try to develop high reliable software to sustain in the competitive market environment. Reliability may be defined in terms of software ability up to which it can perform its desired functions without any failure. Many software reliability growth models (SRGMs) have been provided by the researchers with a sole motive of reliability measurement. The high availability of these models raises a question that “Is each model is fit to each type of dataset?” To answer this question, a comprehensive analysis of SRGMs is highly required. The present study highlights the various concepts about the SRGMs so that they can be used more efficiently to measure the software reliability.
