Abstract In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, software is used to implement most of the technologies. Software is becoming a very important factor in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, and software is being used in various places. In general, software systems are known to degrade performance and increase failure rate as their service life increases. Therefore, efforts have been made to expand the exponential distribution assuming a constant failure rate. In this paper, we propose a new software reliability model with a generalized exponential (GE) fault detection rate function considering the uncertainty of operation environments using the gamma distribution based on a non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP), and examine the goodness-of-fit. As a result of comparison of goodness-of-fit, it can be confirmed that the new proposed model is significantly better by showing that all the criteria of the new proposed model are the lowest compared to other models.
