Abstract
Software reliability growth models are nonlinear in nature, so it is difficult to estimate the proper parameters. An estimation method based on a modified whale optimization algorithm in which parameters are estimated is discussed in this paper. The whale optimization algorithm is a new swarm intelligence optimization algorithm. This algorithm is not perfect enough. Based on the analysis of whale optimization algorithm, we point out the disadvantages of whale optimization algorithm, and propose a modified whale optimization algorithm algorithm from four aspects: choice regarding the dimension, exploration control, encircling prey modified, and candidate solution selection. The experimental results based on 34 benchmark functions demonstrate that the proposed modified whale optimization algorithm has better accuracy. The modified whale optimization algorithm is used to predict software reliability by predicting the faults during the software testing process using software faults’ historical data. The proposed modified whale optimization algorithm shows significant advantages in handling a variety of modeling problems such as the exponential model, power model, delayed s-shaped model, and modified sigmoid model. Experimental results show that the fitting accuracy of the modified sigmoid model model is minimal on three data sets. The modified whale optimization algorithm with the modified sigmoid model can provide a better estimate of the software faults.
