Abstract
This paper investigates a stochastic model for a software error detection process in which the growth curve of the number of detected software errors for the observed data is S-shaped. The software error detection model is a nonhomogeneous Poisson process where the mean-value function has an S-shaped growth curve. The model is applied to actual software error data. Statistical inference on the unknown parameters is discussed. The model fits the observed data better than other models.
