Abstract(in English) This study discusses a method for applying a linear regression analysis to software reliability data. By expanding five traditional growth curve models, we propose a linearlized growth curve model. The unknown parameters included in the model can be estimated by log-linear regression with the method of two-parameter numerical differentiation. This log-linear regression scheme can provide a control chart representing the degree of software reliability growth and testing progress in a software testing phase, and the estimated growth curve can be used as a generalized growth curve model. We show several numerical examples of software reliability growth data analysis and discuss the performance of the proposed method.
