Abstract

A prominent characteristic of the reliability of software is the estimation of its quality. Measuring and managing software quality during its life cycle is essential to producing and maintaining reliable software systems with good quality. Software Cost Models are used to predict the cost of a software system at the beginning of software testing. In this paper, we have discussed and analyzed three cost models: The software Reliability Cost Model, Software Reliability Cost Model with penalty cost, and Software Reliability Cost Model with risk cost. Finally, numerical illustration and data provided in the literature have predicted the best software cost model based on Software Reliability, total software cost, and the optimal time to deliver the software to the customer.
