A Software Reliability Model Based on Failure Cost Partition for Wearable Computers

All faults hidden in the software can be divided into different types according to the loss it maybe make. A new software reliability growth model specific for different types of faults is proposed based on the traditional G-O model. The wireless communication technology improves the performance of the wearable computer greatly. The software faults of the wearable computer can be divided into two types by their influence on communication: ① common faults,faults which affect slightly or don’t affect communication;② communication faults,faults which affect terribly or interrupt communication. In order to evaluate the software reliability of a wearable computer,an SRGM is established based on the model just built and a group of data is used on it.
