Chen Software Reliability Growth Model

Software reliability analysis is very vital in software development. Software manufacturers assess the quality of their developed software through this analysis. This has triggered the development of reliability models. Software reliability growth models have been used extensively to examine the quality of manufactured software before they are sent to the market. This study presents a new software reliability growth model using Chen distribution. The Chen software reliability growth model is then used to establish sequential probability ratio test limits for determining whether a manufactured software is reliable or unreliable. The applications of the proposed model revealed that it performs better than some of the existing software reliability growth models for the given datasets.
