This paper discusses an new approach for discrete-time software reliability growth modeling based on an discrete-time infinite server queueing model, which describes a debugging process in a testing phase. Our approach enables us to develop discrete-time software reliability growth models (SRGMs) which could not be developed under conventional discrete-time modeling approaches. This paper also discuss goodness-of-fit comparisons of our discrete-time SRGMs with conventional continuous-time SRGMs in terms of the criterion of the mean squared errors, and show numerical examples for software reliability analysis of our models by using actual data.
