Software Reliability Irene Eusgeld and Falk Fraikin and Matthias Rohr and Felix Salfner and Ute Wappler Appeared in: Dependability Metrics Date: 2008 Download: BIBTEX (Eus2008) Pages: 104-125 Many concepts of software reliability engineering can be adapted from the older and successful techniques of hardware reliability.

This chapter gives an introduction into software reliability metrics.
