This paper is devoted to the definition of a reliability growth model-referred to as the discrete time hyperexponential model. This model is aimed at modeling software reliability with respect to the number of executions performed. It is well-suited to some kinds of systems such as transaction processing systems, single mission systems, etc. for which discrete data are collected; in addition, it facilities the modeling of the impact on dependability measures of some software environment characteristics, such as the input probability distribution
