The coverage enhanced models extend the existing time-domain models by using the notion of useless testing effort. A key feature of our model, unlike the existing models, is that it takes into account the structure of the software under development. This feature not only distinguishes our model from all the existing reliability models, but it is also the basis of our claim that structure-based reliability models are likely to provide more accurate reliability estimates than the existing time-domain models. |
