We survey the literature on the accuracy of econometric software. We also assess the advantages of open source software from the point of view of reliability and discuss its potential in applied economics, which has now become fully dependent on computers. As a case study, we apply various...

Web Service Composition allows the development of easily reconfigurable applications that can be quickly adapted to business changes. Due to the shift in paradigm from traditional systems, new approaches are needed in order to evaluate the reliability of web service composition applications. In...

In this paper the reliability is presented as an important feature for use in mission-critical distributed applications. Certain aspects of distributed systems make the requested level of reliability more difficult. An obvious benefit of distributed systems is that they serve the global business...

In this paper, we examined the reliability of Funtone software and its impact on quality service to the user. As Global System for Mobile (GSM) software is relatively new in the market and the level of awareness of its quality service is low; the need for quality assessment of these services...

Optimal release time determination is a typical application of software reliability models. In this decision process, reliability and cost are the two important dimensions that are generally considered. Most existing research formulates this decision process as single-objective optimization...

With the rapid advancement in computer technology, the software reliability plays a very significant role in predicting the performance and assuring the quality of the software. A compromise testing effort is necessary to affirm the pre-defined quality of the software at optimum cost by...

The non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) model is a very important class of software reliability models and is widely used in software reliability engineering. NHPPs are characterized by their intensity functions. In the literature it is usually assumed that the functional forms of the...
