Software Evaluation for Developing Software Reliability and Metrics

The Dissertation presents a study and Implementation of different software metrics. We find that there are specific metrics for different stages of the software development cycle. The Metrics in this dissertation as a literature study is Metrics for Software Requirements, Metrics for Design Level. The Software Metrics covered in this Dissertation are Object-Oriented Design Metrics, Metrics for Coding Level, Metrics for Testing Level, Building cost estimation model and Software Reliability Models. Reliability metric was one of the first early prediction models to be used. The late prediction models mostly consist of the Software Reliability growth models. Jelinski and Moranda’s model developed one of the earliest reliability models. Musa Basic Execution Time Model postulated that software reliability theory should be based on execution time, which is the actual processor time utilized in executing the program, rather than on calendar time.
