A fuzzy software reliability model is proposed where the time intervals between the software failures are taken as the fuzzy variables governed by a membership function. The model takes into account the following assumptions: new faults may be introduced into the software during debugging processes, the number of faults removed after a failure may be greater than one, and there is a growth of human experience during debugging. The model can be considered as an extension of the model developed by Cai, Wen and Zhang. An efficient algorithm is presented for estimating parameters of the model. The numerical examples validate the proposed model.
