Summary on Grant Application Form
This proposal is concerned with the development of general techniques for obtaining accurate measures and predictions of the reliability of software. It builds on very successful, and novel, research within the Centre for Software Reliability that now allows certain reliability measures to be accompanied by a guarantee of accuracy, and in very general circumstances allows the reliability predictions from models to be improved in the light of their previous errors. The work here will mainly address more general - and more practically useful - measures than the rather simple ones addressed in this early research. It will also address the problems faced by statistically unsophisticated users of these new advanced statistical approaches: we intend to provide means whereby the power of techniques can be made accessible to industrial reliability engineers and software engineers.
