Abstract

In this paper we report on an empirical study conducted to determine whether existing software reliability models can be used to predict the errors incurred during the design, development and testing phases of the microcode of computer systems. A number of reliability models are reviewed and employed to predict the faults of the microcode development of the IBM 4381 and the IBM 9370 families of computer systems. Through the study of historical defect data from these two systems, we establish an empirical basis for the usefulness of such models in terms of accuracy in the prediction of the expected errors during the development of the microcode of computer systems.
