Abstract

Optimum software release time problem has been an interesting area of research for several decades now. We introduce here a new concept of size-biased modelling to solve for the optimum software release time. Bayesian approach is used to solve the problem. We also discuss about the applicability of the model for a specific data set, though we believe that the model is applicable to all kind of software reliability data collected in a discrete framework. It has applications in other fields like oil exploration also. Finally, we compare favourably our model with another similar model published recently. We also provide in this article some future possibilities of research work.
