Abstract
This particular essay expounds upon how one can foresee
and predict software reliability. There are two major
components that exist within a computer system: hardware
and software. The reliabilities between the two are
comparable because both are stochastic processes, which can
be described by probability distributions. With this said,
software reliability is the probability that will function
without failure in a given software and in a given
environment during a specified period of time. Thus, this is
why software reliability is a major and key factor in software
developmental processes and quality. However, one can spot
the difference between software reliability and hardware
reliability where it concerns the quality duration and the fact
that software reliability does not decrease its reliability over
time.
