Abstract(in English) It is well-known that software reliability growth models (SRGMs) play an important role in quantitative assessment of software reliability. A huge number of SRGMs have been developed so far on the continuous-time space. However, compared to the number of discussions on the continuous-time modeling approaches, modeling approach for discrete-time SRGMs, which have proper characteristics for describing a software reliability growth process depending on a unit of the software fault-detection period, such as the number of test runs and the number of executed test cases, is very few due to the difficulties of the mathematical manipulations. This paper discusses a modeling approach of discrete-time SRGMs by developing an discrete-time infinite server queueing model for describing the fault-detection process. Our approach enables us to develop discrete-time SRGMs which could not develop under conventional discrete-time modeling approaches. This paper also discuss goodness-of-fit comparisons of our discrete-time SRGMs with conventional continuous-time SRGMs in terms of the criterion of the mean squared errors, and show numerical examples for software reliability analysis of our models by using actual data.
