For software developers as well as software product users, fault removal efficiency is crucial. Developers can estimate the amount of work required by evaluating the proportion of addressed faults. At the same time, the level of trust in utilizing the software product can be determined by customers, based on this information. The proposed software reliability growth model considers fault removal efficiency relevant to contemporary scenarios characterized by automated testing and debugging tools. A comparison between the proposed model and other existing models is conducted by utilizing two data sets from software testing. Additionally, the best release plans are created by considering warranty costs, risk costs, and error removal costs while still meeting reliability requirements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a hybrid forecasting model combining auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques to improve the software fault forecasting and hence improvising the reliability of software. Software reliability forecasting plays a critical role in software development and maintenance, as it helps to identify potential errors and improve the overall performance of software systems. The proposed model leverages the strengths of both ARIMA and ANN, allowing for more accurate predictions and better handling of complex and dynamic software systems. The effectiveness of the hybrid model is evaluated using real-world software data, demonstrating its superiority over traditional forecasting methods. This research contributes to the development of more robust and reliable software systems, which are essential in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
