Abstract: The present research aims at the development of a computation procedure based on the mathematical procedures to solve the problem of Software Reliability Growth Model's (SRGMs) selection problem. The present selection problem is set as a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem in this study and an MCDM approach, namely VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) is implemented to solve the same. To demonstrate the working of the VIKOR, two real-time failure data sets have been used on which 16 SRGMs are evaluated against a set of 12 selection indexes. The present study produces a comprehensive ranking of the various SRGMs based on their relative proximity as the result. The model having the smallest proximity value is graded at position-1 and the model with largest proximity value at the last position.
