failures observed in given testing interval.

 ¦ro¦oses that the cumulative
number of failures observed at time t, N(t) can be

ë Non- homogenous means a Poisson ¦rocess with a

time de¦endent failure rate.

ëThey ¦ro¦osed that the time-de¦endent failure rate
follows an ex¦onential distribution.

ë The instantaneous failure rate function is given by

ë Ôom¦aring with the ex¦onential model the
cumulative distribution function F(t) and ¦robability
density function f(t) is given by,

ë The model curve can be obtain by fitting the actual
data and the number of faults remaining in the system
with the hel¦ of cumulative distribution
function(Ô F).

ë Goel ¦ro¦osed a generalization of the NHPP model

by allowing one more ¦arameter in the Ô F function.

ë Such model is known as Goel generalize

nonhomogeneous Poisson ¦rocess model.

‰ The model observes number of failures by a certain
time µt¶.

‰ It attem¦ts to consider that later fixes have a smaller

effect on the software¶s reliability than earlier one.

‰ Also the ¦rocess modeled the number of failures in

s¦ecified execution time interval (Instead of calendar
time).

‰ The model therefore consists of two com¦onents.

1) The execution time com¦onents.
2) The calendar time com¦onents.

ë Vased on the failure analysis of ¦roducts.

ë The model observed that a significant delay can occur

between the time of the first failure observation and
the time of re¦orting the failure.

ë In this model the observed growth curve of the

cumulative number of detected defects is S- sha¦ed.

ë The mean value function or the cumulative
distribution function to reflect the delay in failure
re¦orting is given by,

Where
t = Time
Ȝ = Error detection rate.
k= Total number of defects or total cumulative defect
rate.
