Abstract

Software reliability models are used for the prediction and estimation of software reliability. Until now, hundreds of software reliability models have been proposed. In order to facilitate model implementation, several software reliability tools have been developed. However, these tools have some disadvantages such as limitation on application range and defect in helping users in model selection. In this paper, we have proposed an approach for software reliability model selection based on experiences from history software projects, which considers the information about used models in history software projects. Moreover, we have designed and implemented a prototype system of software reliability prediction and estimation, which contains various software reliability models and can be used in several phases of Software Development Life Cycle. And the model selection approach proposed in this paper is applied in this system to help users in model selection.
