A Combined Approach of Software Metrics and Software Fault Analysis to Estimate Software Reliability

Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2013, Vol 11, Issue 6

Abstract

 This paper presents a fault prediction model using reliability relevant software metrics and fuzzy inference system. For this a new approach is discussed to develop fuzzy profile of software metrics which are  more relevant for software fault prediction. The proposed model predicts the fault density at the end of each  phase of software development using relevant software metrics. On the basis of fault density at the end of testing  phase, total number of faults in the software is predicted. The model seems to useful for both software engineer  as well as project manager to optimally allocate resources and achieve more reliable software within the time  and cost constraints. To validate the prediction accuracy, the model results are validated using PROMISE  Software Engineering Repository Data set.
