Abstract Software reliability growth models are known as mathematical tools for measuring, assessing, and pre- dicting software reliability quantitatively. In this pa- per, we discuss an all-stage truncated model with mul- tiple change-points by using a zero-truncated Pois- son distribution for improving the accuracy of soft- ware reliability assessment based on a software relia- bility growth model. Finally, we conduct goodness-of- fit comparisons of our model with existing models, and show the numerical examples of software reliability as- sessment based on our model by using actual data.

 
Keywords Software reliability assessment, software reliability growth model, multiple change-point occurrence, zero-truncated Poisson distribution.
