Summary: | We have been attempting to evaluate software quality and improve its reliability. Therefore, research on a software reliability model was part of the effort. Currently, software is used in various fields and environments; hence, one must provide quantitative confidence standards when using software. Therefore, we consider the testing coverage and uncertainty or randomness of an operating environment. In this paper, we propose a new testing coverage model based on NHPP software reliability with the uncertainty of operating environments, and we provide a sensitivity analysis to study the impact of each parameter of the proposed model. We examine the goodness-of-fit of a new testing coverage model based on NHPP software reliability and other existing models based on two datasets. The comparative results for the goodness-of-fit show that the proposed model does significantly better than the existing models. In addition, the results for the sensitivity analysis show that the parameters of the proposed model affect the mean value function.
