Abstract

In order to improve the reliability of Software, we need to implement better testing methods, but an attempt is made to the selection of the test is near to impossible task. The reliability of the software can be achieved by analyzing the test which is direly reliant upon the system. This research paper, tend to emphasize the selection of testing method and an algorithm which generate the reliability and an emphasis is made to generate the results reliability on the basis of faults and errors.
