Abstract

To stay competitive in the industry, software companies are constantly adding new features and upgrading their software. In the last few years, open source software (OSS) has gained a lot of attention because it is free and easy to use. Closed source commercial projects follow a somewhat different protocol than open source projects. The frequency of OSS releases is high. As a result, the multi-release software reliability growth model (SRGM) has been addressed in this study. A non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP)-based model is built for reliability analysis, assuming that the software failure distribution is defined by a generalized modified Weibull distribution (GMWD). The experimental results are based on bug tracking data from a common open source project’s multi-release failure dataset. The proposed model’s efficiency is calculated based on the experimental results. The proposed model is an efficient reliability model for multi-release OSS, according to the results. The model presented in this study is extremely useful for assessing the reliability of OSS.
