Software Reliability Verification Testing Program Considering Hyper-Parameter

Article Preview

Abstract:

The impact of hyper-parameters is considered in the software reliability verification testing program based on the traditional Bayesian theory and a new Bayesian software reliability verification testing program is proposed, which could be used for high-reliability software. Examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of this verification testing program.
