Abstract
This study aims to compare the predictive capability of two popular software reliability growth models (SRGM), say exponential growth and inflection S-shaped growth models. We first review the exponentiated Weibull (EW) testing-effort functions and discuss exponential type and inflection S-shaped type SRGM with EW testing-effort. We then analyzed the actual data applications and compare the predictive capability of these two SRGM graphically. The findings reveal that inflection S-shaped type SRGM has better prediction capability as compare to exponential type SRGM.
