Abstract: The increasing reliance on computer software has raised significant concerns regarding software reliability evaluation. Over the past four decades, various software reliability models have been developed, encompassing both parametric and nonparametric approaches. However, no single model has demonstrated effectiveness in handling all types of datasets. In response to this challenge, the deep neural network (DNN), a powerful deep learning model, has emerged as a promising solution. By leveraging the flexibility and adaptability of artificial neural networks (ANN), the DNN model exhibits remarkable prediction performance by capturing training variables and exploring deeper layers. This study presents an approach that utilizes a DNN model based on an ANN architecture with multiple activation functions. This approach aims to estimate software reliability and predict the frequency of software flaws. Through extensive experimental analysis and validation, the proposed DNN model surpasses the predictive accuracy achieved by existing parametric and nonparametric models. These results highlight the potential of the DNN model in effectively addressing the complexities involved in software reliability evaluation. By combining the power of deep learning with the adaptability of ANN, the proposed model offers a promising and accurate solution for software reliability prediction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
