Change Point:: Bayesian Network

This document defines and describes several key concepts related to software reliability growth models (SRGMs). It discusses Bayesian networks, change points, deterministic and stochastic processes, genetic algorithms, Markov processes, mixture distributions, open-source software, Poisson processes, testing effort functions, Weibull distributions and the three main types of SRGMs - exponential growth, delayed S-shaped growth and inflection S-shaped growth models.

Bayesian network:

A Bayesian network, Bayes network, belief network, decision network, Bayes(ian) model or


probabilistic directed acyclic graphical model is a probabilistic graphical model (a type of statistical
model) that represents a set of variables and their conditional dependencies via a directed acyclic
graph (DAG).

Change point:
The concept of change point has become important for the analysis of SRGMs. The point at which
fault detection/ introduction rate changed is called change point.

Deterministic Process:
A deterministic process is one where the present state completely determines the future state.  If I
make a (riskless) investment of $1,000 at 5% interest, compounded annually, then in one year's time I
will have $1,050, in two years' time I will have $1,102.50, and so forth.

Fault Reduction Factor:


Fault reduction factor is generally measured as the ratio of net fault reduction to failures experienced.
During the s/w testing process, FRF may be influenced by the environmental factors such as imperfect
debugging, debugging time lag, human learning process, fault spawn, etc.

Genetic Algorithm:
The genetic algorithm is a method for solving both constrained and unconstrained optimization
problems that is based on natural selection, the process that drives biological evolution.

Log logistic testing effort function in SRGM:


Markov process:
A Markov process is a random process in which the future is independent of the past, given the
present. Thus, Markov processes are the natural stochastic analogous of the deterministic processes
described by differential and difference equations. They form one of the most important classes of
random processes.

Mixture distributions for modular system:


Modular design, or "modularity in design", is an approach (design theory and practice) that
subdivides a system into smaller parts called modules or skids, that can be independently created and
then used in different systems.
In probability and statistics, a mixture distribution is the probability distribution of a random
variable that is derived from a collection of other random variables as follows: first, a random variable
is selected by chance from the collection according to given probabilities of selection, and then the
value of the selected random variable is realized.

Open-source software:
Open-source software (OSS) is any computer software that's distributed with its source code
available for modification.
Other popular open-source software is:
 Mozilla's Firefox web browser.
 Thunderbird email client.
 PHP scripting language.
 Python programming language.
 Apache HTTP web server.

Poisson Process:
A Poisson Process is a model for a series of discrete event where the average time between events
is known, but the exact timing of events is random. The arrival of an event is independent of the event
before (waiting time between events is memoryless).

SRGMs:
Exponential growth, delayed S-shaped growth and inflection S-shaped growth models

Stochastic Process:
A stochastic process (on the other hand, that is unlike deterministic processes) is one where there's
some randomness or uncertainty involved.  If I buy $1,000 worth of IBM stock today, how much
money will it be worth in one year's time?  In two years' time?  Who knows?  This is a stochastic
process.

Testing-effort function:
 Log logistic testing-effort function,
 Exponential type and S-shaped types SRGM with log-logistic testing effort.
 Weibull type TEF
The experimental results reveal that inflection S-shaped type SRGM has better prediction capability
as compare to exponential type SRGM.
Weibull Distribution:

pdf : ¿¿¿

K: the shape parameter, also known as the Weibull slope

: the location parameter
