Certifying the reliability of software
IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 1986A description is given of a procedure for certifying the reliability of software before its release to users. The ingredients of this procedure are a life cycle of executable product increments, representative statistical testing, and a standard estimate of the MTTF (mean time to failure) of the product at the time of its release.

International Statistical Review / Revue Internationale de Statistique, 1994
Summary: Probability models and statistical methods are a popular technique for evaluating the reliability of computer software. This paper reviews the literature concerning these methods, with an emphasis on the historical perspective. The use of stochastic techniques is justified, and the various probability models that have been proposed, along with

Proceedings of 1993 IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering, 2002
In this paper we examine the quantitative software attributes that are known to be related to software faults and subsequently software failures. The object is to develop design guidelines based on these quantitative attributes that will assist the evaluation of alternatives in the software design process.

Predicting software reliability
Computer, 1996Critical business applications require reliable software, but developing reliable software is one of the most difficult problems facing the software industry. After the software is shipped, software vendors receive customer feedback about software reliability.

Software reliability predictions for distributed software
Proceedings Ninth International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (Cat. No.98TB100257), 2002The software reliability literature contains several models for estimating software reliability at the end of system test. However, to enable better planning, project management often needs reliability predictions prior to system test. The paper presents a software reliability prediction model that extends the known results on software predictions to ...

Software reliability — what is it?
Software Testing, Verification and Reliability, 1991AbstractSoftware has become a household necessity in today's world but little has been done to measure its reliability for the consumer. Since software failure has a different basis than hardware failure, existing reliability theory cannot be applied directly: a new software unique theory needs to be defined.

Software reliability measurement
Journal of Systems and Software, 1979The quantification of software reliability is needed for the system engineering of products involving computer programs and the scheduling and monitoring of software development. It is also valuable for the comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of various design, coding, testing, and documentation techniques.

Methods proposed for software reliability prediction are reviewed. A case study is then presented of the analysis of failure data from a Space Shuttle software project to predict the number of failures likely during a mission, and the subsequent verification of these predictions.
