Abstract: System safety is closely related to system reliability. Safety requirements many times are translated to reliability requirements. Nowadays, software systems exist in many engineering systems. However, there is no consensus method for software reliability estimation. On the contrary, there is an increasing interest in estimating the software reliability due to concerns for safety-critical systems. In this article, we try to close the gap by proposing a systematic and probabilistic method to estimate the software reliability based on software test data.
