METHOD TO PREDICT SOFTWARE RELIABILITY

Abstract

A method to predict the reliability of software is introduced in this paper. The method is based on the calculation of correlation between reliability measures and software errors. The dependency between errors and reliability is defined by calculating Pearson correlation ratio, which is used further to build the identity matrix to match error groups and reliability measures. Input for this calculation is well defined and explained including the direction of the correlation and confidence level. This paper also proposes the way to integrate the introduced method into agile software development process.
