description In today's World, to meet the demand of high quality and reliable software systems, it is imperative to perform comprehensive testing and debugging of the software code. The fault detection and removal rate may change over time. The time point after which the rates are changed is termed as the change point. Practically, the failure count may not coincide with the total fault count removed from the system. Their ratio is measured by Fault Reduction Factor (FRF). Here, we propose a Weibull testing effort dependent Software Reliability Growth Model with logistic FRF and change point for assessing the failure phenomenon of a software system. The models have been validated on two real software fault datasets. The parameters are estimated using Least squares and various criteria are employed to check the goodness of fit. The comparison is also facilitated with the existing models in literature to demonstrate that proposed model has better performance.
