Survey on parameter estimation in software reliability

Throughout the process of software engineering, software reliability analysis is accomplished at numerous phases as an endeavor for the estimation of whether the software necessities have been encountered or not. During the initial phases of software development, software reliability prediction techniques were very challenging. A number of software reliability models have been put forward during the ancient few years in order to measure the software reliability. Reliability of every software artifact is a measurable characteristic which is highly indispensable for foreseeing the degree of trustworthiness of any software so that it can work precisely for a definite interval of time. Moreover there must not be presence of any type of failure. In this paper, I have briefly discussed about some fundamental parametric estimation techniques in software reliability models. This paper highly focuses on how different types of techniques can be utilized for estimating the various parameters.
