Software Reliability–II

B ayesian Reliability Demonstration

“…This is particularly challenging in zero-failure situations, where observations would only consist of observed periods without failures, so all observations would be right-censored (see [4] for a nonparametric predictive approach to a related problem in probabilistic safety assessment). There are many topics in statistics, quality control and reliability, which consider problems that are closely related to BRD, for example software reliability verification and testing [12,20,21] and acceptance sampling, as well as topics such as fault removal and re-testing, and accelerated life testing [17], and linking these to BRD for large-scale systems and developing engineering projects is a major challenge, so BRD promises to offer exciting opportunities for research and applications over the next decades.…”
