Σύνοψη	Software reliability models predict the behavior of failure rates during testing and operation, estimating when software achieves required reliability targets. Introduced by Goel and Okumoto (1979), these stochastic models capture how defect discovery declines as testing progresses. Organizations use reliability models to forecast release readiness, estimate testing duration, and validate quality achievement.	Code coverage analysis measures the extent to which source code is executed by a test suite, quantifying which lines, branches, or paths are exercised. Tools instrument code to track execution, reporting coverage percentages and identifying untested regions. Coverage analysis guides test creation, detects dead code, and validates test adequacy in quality assurance processes.
