Software Reliability Model
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.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
