Resumen de Bayesian inference and optimal release times: for two software failure models

Michael Peter Wiper, David Ríos Insua, Robert M. Hierons

• We carry out Bayesian inference for the Jelinski-Moranda and Littlewood software failure models given a sample of failure times. Furthermore, we illustrate how to assess the optimal length of an additional pre-release testing period under each of these models. Modern Bayesian computational methods are used to estimate the posterior expected utility of testing for and additional time.
