Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Open-source software (OSS) is computer software with its source code made available with a license in which the
copyright holder provides the rights to study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose.
Since much reduction of software development cost may be expected through the effective utilization of OSS,
it is recently used even in industry. The main feature of OSS is that it can be used for a long term by repeating
version up, so that OSS possesses a different software bug detection and correction profiles from the commercial software
products. More specifically, the software bug detection process of OSS can be considered to show effects
of the long-term operation and/or periodicity due to the version up, in addition to the common reliability growth phenomenon
observed in the relatively short-term software testing. In this article we propose a stochastic point process approach
to identify the long-term effect and the periodicity effect of OSS with the actual OSS bug detection data. By conducting
the reliability analysis of OSS, it would be possible to assess the operational reliability of OSS quantitatively and to
share the published quality indicators of OSS by the whole OSS community.
