Achieving High Software Reliability
Point of Contact Taghi M. Khoshgoftaar
taghi@cse.fau.edu
Dates January 1999 - September 2002
Problem

A development team does not know which modules tend to be faulty until late in the development process. Credible ranking of modules with respect to a quality factor, in accordance with process specifications, allows the team to focus enhancement efforts on modules that need it most. A good modeling tool and useful project data are needed to build the underlying quality prediction models.

Objective

Readily available data from large software CMS and PRS can enable us to build software quality models that can rank modules with respect to a quality factor (Module-Order Modeling). MOM(s) can assist in effective resource utilization with better cost-effective software quality improvements. An empirical modeling tool, that demonstrates effective applicability of MOM(s), will be developed.
