Overview

Predict these things BEFORE coding and/or testing begins

  • Software defects during testing and after delivery
  • Testing effort required to meet a desired/required objective
  • Software failure rate, MTTF, MTTCF, availability, reliability

Predictive models differ from reliability growth models...

  • Used as early as the concept phase
  • Once testing commences, growth models such as those contained in WhenToStop module can then be used.

Major disadvantages of traditional software reliability growth estimation models

  • Cannot be used until code is finished and systems testing begins 
  • Fewer alternatives for balancing schedule, cost and defects

Key capabilities

  • Models were derived from data mining real software companies and products and practices
  • While other models measure only a few characteristics, Frestimate measures all of the below
    •     People
    •     Size, complexity, techniques, practices
    •     Process
  • Model is mapped to DO-178BIEC61508-3 and Capability Maturity Model
