Abstract
Reliability assessment of Highly Reliable Software is significant in the software reliability engineering because of the small-size failure data. A novel model based on bootstrapping method and statistics of extremes for highly reliable software reliability assessment was presented. Correlation coefficient method was applied in order to determine the extreme distribution pattern to which the failure data belongs. The bootstrapping method based on residual error was used to estimate the parent distribution parameters. Software reliability and mean-time-to-failure (MTTF) at the end of reliability test were assessed. Experimental results show the model has a higher accuracy in the small-size sample situation. The validity of the proposed method is examined.
