Frestimate is a software program that provides for software reliability prediction and sensitivity analysis. The prediction models can be used well in advance of the code being written.

Benefits of Frestimate Software

1. Predict these things before the code is even written - operational and testing defects, defect pileup, effort required to correct the defects in test and operation, failure rate, MTTF, MTTCF, reliability, availability, reliability growth.

2. SRE prediction models are recommended by the IEEE 1633 Recommended Practices for Software Reliability 2016.

3. Supports sensitivity analysis to identify practices with biggest ROI with regards to reducing defects.  Identifies practices that aren't effective at reducing defects so that there is more budget for those practices that are cost effective.

4. Generates predictions for each software LRU so that it can be integrated with the hardware component predictions.

5. Frestimate Manager's Edition automates software reliability growth models that are used during testing.  These models provide guidance for when the software is ready for release.

How Frestimate works

Frestimate Software Reliability Assessment

The SRE assessment surveys automated by Frestimate range from simple to detailed.  The simple assessment surveys can be completed relatively easily while the detailed assessment surveys require more information.  The detailed models provide for greater sensitivity and granularity of the predicted results.  The assessments are cross referenced to the AMSAA Software Reliability Scorecard, Rome Laboratory TR-92-52, IEC 61508-3, and DO178.  This means that several of the practices in these assessments and standards have been correlated with escaped defects.  So, for example, if your project is required to be DO178 certified, you can check all of the questions that have been cross matrixed to DO178 to reduce the time to answer the survey. Similarly with other assessments.

Frestimate users

  • Reliability engineers to predict reliability of COTS and inhouse software
  • Software managers to perform a sensitivity analysis to maxmize return on investment with regards to software reliability practices, plan staffing for field support and corrective actions, determine if there will be defect pileup
  • Acquistions personnel to assess the reliability risk of acquired software 
  • Software testing and QA to plan testing resources prior to testing and during testing determine if the reliability objective can and will be met and how many test hours are needed to reach that objective

System requirements

  • Microsoft Excel 2007, 2010 or 2013.
  • Windows 8, 9 or 10.
