Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In evaluating quality/reliability of software products in user's operational phase, we have to consider the difference between the testing and the operational environments. In this paper, we propose the method of operational software reliability assessment. We use the Markovian imperfect debugging model to describe the software reliability growth phenomena in the testing and the operational phases. We apply the idea of the accelerated life testing model in the hardware products to describe the difference between both failure characteristics. Based on the model, we derive several quantitative measures for software reliability assessment in the operational phase. Finally, we present several numerical examples of operational software reliability assessment, applying this model to the actual data set.
