Abstract

Computers have become an integral part of everyone's life in this modern information society, and they are especially important in several fields that save lives. Consequently, it is necessary to develop reliable and cost-efficient software systems. This study discusses a cost model that integrates slippage and risk costs and looks at how these cost factors affect the timing of software releases. The reliability growth model, which is developed by taking into account the testing coverage function in an imperfect debugging environment, is used to study the cost model. The model is validated using a real-life failure dataset and with the estimated values, we formulate an optimisation model to develop the cost model concerning reliability function. With the aid of sensitivity analysis, the study also examines the potential effects of cost variation on the overall budget and delivery schedule.
