摘要：Reliability of software always related to software failures and a number of software reliability growth models (SRGMs) have been proposed past few decades to predict software reliability. Different characteristics of SRGM leading to the study and practices of SRGM selection for different domains. Appropriate model must be chosen for suitable domain in order to predict the occurrence of the software failures accurately then help to estimate the overall cost of the project and delivery time. In this paper, particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is used to optimize a parameter estimation and distance based approach (DBA) is used to produce SRGM model selection ranking. The study concluded that the use of PSO for optimizing the SRGMs parameter has provided more accurate reliability prediction and improved model selection rankings. The model selection ranking methodology can facilitate a software developer to concentrate and analyze in making a decision to select suitable SRGM during testing phases.
