Reliability model of open source software considering fault introduction with generalized inflection S-shaped distribution

Abstract

Article highlights An OSS reliability model considering that fault introduction obeys GISS distribution is proposed. The developed model can be used to assess the reliability of OSS under complicated environments. The developed model can get with the complex testing and development environment of OSS.
