To asses, analyze and predict a software reliability we need to develop a software reliability growth model (SRGM). We can apply different types of testing-effort function during the development of SRGM. As we know that software reliability is the probability that software functions correctly under a given environment and during a specified period of time. The software reliability is highly related to the amount of testing-effort. Also, the reliability of software needs to be carefully assessed and analyzed during the software development process. Furthermore, the prediction of software reliability is also very important for failure free operation by software. It means, testing-effort functions are very important for the successful operation of SRM. In this paper, we have introduced a SRGM with a very descent testing effort function which is Burr Type XII testing effort function.
