Software Reliability Growth Modeling Using a Weighted Laplace Test Statistic

We introduce a new weighted Laplace test statistic for software reliability growth modelling. The proposed model not only takes into account the activity in the system but also the proportion of reliability growth within the model. This generalized approach is defined as a weighted combination of a growth reliability model and a non-growth reliability model. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness and the much improved performance of the proposed method in software reliability modelling.
