The Optimal Release Time using Software Reliability Model with a Burr Type III Fault Detection Rate Function

Development of software system is a difficult and complex process. Therefore, the main focus of software development is on improving the reliability and stability of a software system. We have become aware of the importance of developing software reliability models and have begun to develop software reliability models. Most people think that using more time to test is more reliable software, however, the testing cost of the software will also increase. Conversely, if the testing time is too short, the cost of the software development can be reduced, but the reliability is lowered. Therefore, it is important to determine when to stop testing and release the software. In this paper, we examine the goodness-of-fit of NHPP models based on three data sets of software testing data, and compare the optimal release times of all models.
