The Rayleigh Model
Having discussed defect removal effectiveness and the phase-based defect removal model, this chapter discusses a formal model of software reliability: the Rayleigh model. The Rayleigh model is a parametric model in the sense that it is based on a specific statistical distribution. When the parameters of the statistical distribution are estimated based on the data from a software project, projections about the defect rate of the project can be made based on the model.
