Abstract
Keywords
Spacecraft software failures depend on software defects
and errors. This paper offers a part of a solution for a
software reliability problem by forecasting the failures.
Using the experimental data we calculated the optimal
quantity of software testing cycles. We used numerical
algorithm to make a forecast of software reliability. Our
forecast method is based on software failure formation
analysis. It predicts the average quantity of software fail-
ures taking into account that the defects are eliminated
after testing. The examples of typical cases provided in this
article show that applying our method results in effective
forecasting
Software, reliability, software fail-
ure, quantity of testing cycles
