History of research on reliability of software began in the early seventies of the last century. A significant progress of the work aimed at the construction of a mathematical model of software reliability growth has been performed since the first publication devoted to this subject was presented. Analysis of existing literature may lead to the conclusion that there is no universal solution which could be applied in every single case. However, it is possible to classify existing models, based on their characteristics such as data domain, the way to describe faults discovered during testing process, the way to express reliability, or other remaining assumptions, including mathematical concepts used in the evaluation process. This article presents an overview of existing solutions related to software reliability modelling, focusing on variety of aspects and methods used within this process.

Historia badań nad niezawodnością oprogramowania sięga lat 70. ubiegłego wieku. Od momentu pojawienia się pierwszych publikacji poświęconych tej tematyce nastąpił znaczący rozwój i postęp prac mających na celu między innymi budowę matematycznego modelu umożliwiającego badanie wzrostu niezawodności oprogramowania w procesie jego testowania. Analizując dostępną literaturę, można dojść do wniosku, że nie istnieje rozwiązanie uniwersalne, które dałoby się zastosować w każdym przypadku. Możliwa jest natomiast klasyfikacja dostępnych modeli ze względu na cechy charakterystyczne poszczególnych rozwiązań, takie jak dziedzina danych, sposób opisu błędów pojawiających się w procesie testowania, sposób opisu niezawodności czy też pozostałych założeń, w tym narzędzi matematycznych wykorzystywanych w procesie ewaluacji. Artykuł ten przedstawia przegląd istniejących rozwiązań modelowania niezawodności oprogramowania, kładąc nacisk na różnorodność aspektów oraz metod wykorzystywanych w tym procesie.
