Software reliability estimation and optimization: A non‐homogeneous Poisson process approach

Abstract

Considers an extension of the non‐homogeneous Poisson process to describe the software failure process more appropriately. This extension introduces a new structure for the intensity function of the non‐homogeneous Poisson process. Using this intensity function, develops a mathematical model to determine the optimal allocation of resources to be spent during the development to maximize the reliability within a budget.
