Abstract

Nowadays, software is the key element of function in many modern engineered systems. It can be found in a variety of applications from the refrigerators to cars to the washing machine, etc. Due to the advancement of technology brought about by the IT industry, the significance of the field of software engineering has been continuously increasing. In this growing number of applications of software, one vital challenge is to ensure that system is matching with the quality specifications and is reliable to use. The quality of the software determines its value and reliability ensures the failure-free operation of software for a specified period of time in the given environmental conditions. Quality and reliability of the software depend on the software faults.
