- Also look at the work of Bev Littlewood (UK), and John Musa, et.al.
- at AT&T. More specifically, check out:
-
- Software Reliability: Measurement, Predication, Application
- John Musa, Anthony Iannino, Kazuhira Okumoto
- McGraw-Hill, 1987
-
- I also know that a shorter version of the same book, emphasizing
- application of the theory rather than the foundations, was issued
- in the past couple of years. Sorry, don't have the reference at hand.
