Software Reliability Assessment

Mission Ready Software is globally recognized as the authority on software reliability assessment.  That is because we invented most of the models currently used in the industry.  Our models are recommended by IEEE 1633 Recommended Practices for Software Reliability.

Our software reliability prediction models are used early in development while there is still time to achieve reliable software without spending a fortune or delaying the schedule.  Other software reliability models are used late in testing when really the only thing that can be done to improve the reliability is to keep testing and keep fixing defects. 

We have the world’s largest database of software development factors correlated to actual reliability. We know what world-class software organizations do (and don’t do) when developing software.  We also know what distressed software organizations do (and don’t do) when developing software. We know what factors affect reliable software as well as the factors that are overhyped.  Every day spent on a development technique that doesn’t reduce defects is a day that could have been spent on a development technique that does. This database is how we developed our machine learning models that predict operational defect density.

Our software reliability assessment models can be used to predict as well as assess the effectiveness of the development practices. Our models predict defect density, defects that will escape testing, defects that will be found in testing, staffing levels, optimal release frequency to keep the defect logs from piling up, software failure rate, software MTBF, reliability, and availability.  We can also assess your software vendors.

We use the Requs AI Predict machine learning tool to generate the predictions. However, we also conduct the assessments as a service.  As part of the assessment, we will also benchmark your software organization to others in the same industry space.
