Abstract
The objective of this study is to propose a hybrid model based on self-organized maps (SOM) and fuzzy time series (FTS) for predicting the reliability of software systems. The proposed SOM-FTS model is compared with eleven traditional machine learning-based models. The problem of selecting a suitable software reliability prediction model is represented as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. Twelve software reliability prediction models, including the proposed SOM-FTS model, are evaluated using three MCDM methods, four performance measures, and three software failure datasets. The results show that the proposed SOM-FTS model is the most suitable model among the twelve software reliability prediction models on the basis of MCDM ranking.
