The purpose of this project is to forecast the incidence
of failures to be encountered by a software package for C3I
systems over and throughout its life cycle.
It will be assumed that a data base of software
previously developed for C3I systems will be used to forecast
the software integrity of a software package under initial
development. "Software integrity" is defined as a projection
of the stream of failures that will be experienced by the new
software. The failure history of the mature C3I systems
software will be statistically quantified parametrically and
by experimental design techniques (ANOVA) to gather
information which will be used to forecast what C3I software
with similar characteristics--length, language, debugging
effort, etc.--will experience.
<p>Then, as the new C3I system software matures, statistical
techniques for software systems engineering will be addressed
for testing appropriateness of the initial projections; and
eventually the new software will be parametrically modeled on
its own merits to forecast the failures to be encountered over
the remainder of its life cycle.
<p>Lastly, the data base history of software for mature C3I
systems software will be updated and amended as needed to
facilitate reliable forecasting of software integrity for a
new round of C3I systems software.
<p>The attention to C3I implied by the title of the project
will reflect itself in the classes of software considered and
development conditions, schedules and complexities of the
software. / Master of Science
