Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The research explores current early life cycle software reliability prediction models or techniques that can predict the reliability of software prior to writing code and a method for increasing or improving the reliability of software products early in the development life cycle. Five prediction models and two development techniques are examined. Each model is statically an alyzedin terms of availability of data early in the life cycle, ease of data collection, and whether the data is currently collected. One model and the two techniques satisfied requirements and were further analyzed for their ability to predict or improve software reliability. While the researchers offer no significant statistical results of the ability of the model to predict software reliability, important conclusions are drawn about the cost and time savings of using inspections as a means of improving the reliability of software. The results indicate that the current software development paradigm needs to be changed to use the Clean room Software Development Process for future software development.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
