1985 IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering  
This paper proposes a method for assessing software reliability models and its application to the Musa and Littlewood-Verrall models. It is divided into two parts. * In the first part, a taxonomy of the criteria to be considered for assessing a software reliability model is developed and a method for applying this taxomony is presented. * In the second part, the result of an assessment of the Musa and Littlewood-Verrall models is presented. This assessment makes use of RADC/DACS database to
