Development and Evaluation of Software Reliability Estimators
Abstract : This study considers the problem of estimating the number of errors in a software package and its mean time-to-failure (mttf). An emphasis is placed on the comparison and evaluation of various estimators and on determining the estimator accuracy.
In their target article Kalisch et al. provide an appraisal-based model to explain resilience from stress. We posit that for their model it is crucial to understand the begin-state φ, a state that is shaped by early social thermoregulation and through the social network.
