Software Reliability Study

Abstract

A study of software errors is presented. Techniques for categorizing errors according to type, identifying their source, and detecting them are discussed. Various techniques used in analyzing empirical error data collected from four large software systems are discussed and results of analysis are presented. Use of results to indicate improvements in the error prevention and detection processes through use of tools and techniques is also discussed.
