In this article is made an opening for the software reliability issues, through wide-ranging statistical indicators, which are designed based on information collected from operating or testing (samples). It is developed the reliability issues also for the case of the main reliability laws...

Testing for linearity in time series models has been an active area of research [see Granger and Terasvirta (1993), Tong (1991)]. The authors consider a test for linearity against a particular regime switching model known as the smooth transition autoregressive (STAR) model.
