The quantitative assessment of software reliability is one of the main issues in software engineering. Over the last four decades, researchers have investigated a variety of quantitative methods for supporting decision making in real software development processes. A range of software reliability models (SRMs) have been proposed [Lyu (1996); Musa et al.(1987); Pham (2000)], taking different approaches to estimate quantitative software reliability, defined as the probability that a software system will not fail during a specified period of operation. Among these, non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP)-based SRMs have become widely-used in the software testing phase to assess the software reliability, identify the number of remaining faults in software, and determine the software release schedule. The mean value function is a unique parameter that supports the probabilistic property of NHPP-based SRMs. The estimation methods can be broadly classified into Bayesian and non-Bayesian. Kuo and Yang (1996) proposed a general Bayesian estimation framework based on the well-known Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, for representative NHPP-based SRMs with and without bounded mean value functions.
