  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose a modified genetic algorithm (MGA) with calibrating fitness functions, weighted bit mutation, and rebuilding mechanism for the parameter estimation of software reliability growth models (SRGMs). An example using a real failure data is given to demonstrate the performance of proposed method. Experimental result shows that MGA is effective for estimating the parameters of SRGM.
