Benchmarking Software Reliability Growth Models

摘要

A number of classical software reliability growth models were benchmarked in this paper. Ten popular models were selected. A set of performance characteristics/factors which were believed to be related to the model's benchmark was identified. A benchmark quantification scheme with respect to the set of performance factors was proposed. The procedure to conduct the benchmarking was established and then applied to the selected ten software reliability growth models. Some interesting results were observed and analyzed.
