Description: A reliability growth model is an analytical model that accounts for changes in reliability due to design changes and other corrective actions taken during the development and testing phases of a reliability program. This paper describes the results of a Monte Carlo study comparing the performance characteristics of four reliability growth models that have been proposed in the reliability literature.
