Preface

We have been energetically proposed several reliability assessment methods for an open-source software in the last decade. Its measurement and management technologies for open-source software are essential to produce and maintain quality/reliable system by using open-source software. This book will serve as a textbook and reference book for graduate students and researchers in reliability for open-source software and modeling. Several methods of reliability assessment for open-source software are introduced. Our aim is to present state of the art of open-source software reliability measurement and assessment based on the stochastic modeling approach and recent research on this subject over the last 10 years. For example, the component-oriented reliability analysis based on AHP, ANP, and NHPP models, the stochastic differential equation models, and the hazard rate models are presented. Chapter 1 introduces several aspects of software reliability, open-source software development paradigm, and its applications. Also, the basic concept of a mathe
