IEEE 1633-2008

IEEE Recommended Practice on Software Reliability

Draft D12 This recommended practice prescribes the methods for assessing and predicting the reliability of software, based on a life cycle approach to software reliability engineering. It provides information necessary for the application of software reliability measurement to a project, lays a foundation for building consistent methods, and establishes the basic principle for collecting the data needed to assess and predict the reliability of software. The document prescribes how any user can participate in on going software reliability assessments and predictions.

P1633

Recommended Practice for Software Reliability

This recommended practice defines the software reliability engineering (SRE) processes, prediction models, growth models, tools, and practices of an organization. This document identifies methods, models, equations, and tools for quantitatively assessing the reliability of a software or firmware subsystem or product. This recommended practice enables organizations to know the reliability of the software prior to acquisition of software subsystems or products developed. This document does not seek to certify either the software or firmware or the processes employed for developing the software or firmware.

1633-2016

IEEE Recommended Practice on Software Reliability

The methods for assessing and predicting the reliability of software, based on a life-cycle approach to software reliability engineering (SRE), are prescribed in this recommended practice. It provides information necessary for the application of software reliability (SR) measurement to a project, lays a foundation for building consistent methods, and establishes the basic principle for collecting the data needed to assess and predict the reliability of software. The recommended practice prescribes how any user can participate in SR assessments and predictions.
