Software reliability (SR) models have been evaluated and ranked for their applicability to various situations.
Many improvements have been made in SR modeling and prediction since 1992. This revised recommended
practice reflects those advances in SR since 1992, including modeling and prediction for distributed and
network systems. Situation specific usage guidance was refined and updated. The methodologies and tools
included in this recommended practice are extended over the software life cycle (SLC).
