Abstract—Software Reliability has a very important contribution towards software quality. Software reliability is the probability of the failure free operation of a computer program after a specific period of time. It is always required to test the reliability of a system to know its operations with 100% perfection. Whether it is a manufacturing system, or a software or a medicine even a human being. This article provides a general idea for observing the reliability of a software and a suggestive algorithm for its improvement by incorporating software engineering methodologies. This algorithm may help in right selection of model for improving software reliability.

Index Terms—Reliability, Waterfall, Prototyping, Incremental, Rapid, Evolutionary, Agile
