Abstract

In this paper, we discuss a software reliability growth model with a learning factor for imperfect debugging based on a non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP). Parameters used in the model are estimated. An optimal release policy is obtained for a software system based on the total mean profit and reliability criteria. A random software life-cycle is also incorporated in the discussion. Numerical results are presented in the final section.
