Practical software reliability engineering with the Software Failure and Reliability Assessment Tool (SFRAT)

Practical software reliability engineering with the Software Failure and Reliability Assessment Tool (SFRAT)

Many large software projects struggle to achieve their reliability targets. Software reliability growth models quantify reliability from failure data collected during software testing. This paper presents the Software Failure and Reliability Assessment Tool (SFRAT), which implements several software...
