The software reliability models help in analysis of software products and they are built of some assumptions which induce a certain degree of unreliability also. In this paper we have investigated the most popular reliability models and presented the pitfalls of each model but not before discussing their operating principle as well as robustness. Our paper serves as a readymade guide to software quality assurance engineers to refer which model they want to consider while practicing the reliability activity during the maintenance phase so as to refine the models and apply them again into their needs.
