An alternative approach for Parameter estimation in gompertz Software reliability model for web Based applications

Abstract

Software reliability is the probability that the software will not newlinecause the failure of a system for a specified time under specified conditions newlineSoftware reliability is also an important factor affecting system reliability newlineStatistical methods applied during software test can estimate forecast newlineReliability The modeling technique for software reliability is reaching its newlineProsperity but before using the technique we must carefully select the newlineappropriate model that can best suit our case newlineThe Gompertz model is widely used in demography and in various newlinebranches of science Initially the model was developed by Gompertz to newlinedescribe age patterns of mortality Overtime researchers have started using it newlineas a growth model Demographers found mixed results in the fit of the newlineGompertz model to empirical fertility schedules Later Gompertz fertility newlinemodel is used to get a better fit for a given empirical fertility schedule by newlinerelating it to an appropriate standard fertility schedule Many software newlinereliability growth models with practical applications have been proposed and newlineanalysed by number of researchers newlineThe Gompertz curve model is one of the simplest S shaped newlinesoftware reliability growth model applied by Japanese computer newlinemanufacturers newline newline
