Özet:

 

Software reliability is one of the most important  characteristics of software quality.  Its measurement and management  technologies employed during the software life-cycle are essential for  producing and maintaining quality/reliable software systems.  Herein,  we discuss a modified approach to calculating the delivery cost of a  software product, when warranty is to be provided, with an imperfect  debugging phenomenon.  Unlike existing cost models, here the strategy  was to consider maintenance support given to the customer with an  imperfect debugging phenomenon.  The optimal release time can be  calculated for various reliability levels by minimizing the cost.  The  delivery cost, reliability of the software system, and the optimal  release time were calculated by using an imperfect debugging software  reliability growth model.  Numerical illustration supports the optimal  release policies.
