Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the level of entrepreneurial features and the intention towards entrepreneurship (ITE) of generation Z students. The paper also explores if entrepreneurial education (EE) plays a role in the development of individual entrepreneurship orientation (IEO) and in increasing the ITE of the generation Z students. Design/methodology/approach: The research consists of a survey of students in the fields of marketing and communication (n = 590) conducted in January 2018. The authors used SPSS software to test the reliability of scales that measure IEO, ITE, the need for achievement, structural behaviour, self-efficacy and the attitude towards job flexibility, and to run Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression and t test to test the hypotheses. Findings: The findings show that generation Z students have similar ITE and EE to colleagues from other generations. EE has a significant impact on increasing both IEO and ITE. Nevertheless, generation Z students have a higher need for achievement, a lower self-efficacy and are more open to a flexible labour market. Originality/value: This paper explores a topic which has received little attention: the interest and capacity of generation Z students to develop their own business. The paper also analyses whether the EE offered by universities can play a role in this regard. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Various software reliability growth models (SRGMs) have been developed to evaluate software reliability. Since software faults are caused by bugs in the logic of the code, which are introduced due to human errors, software faults embody lots of epistemic uncertainties. Under the framework of uncertainty theory, a software belief reliability growth model (SBRGM) was proposed. Actually, during software testing fault detection rate function may show multiple phases due to changes of testing strategies and resources allocation. Thus, fault detection rate function may be discontinuous at some time known as the change point. Noting that the previous SBRGM did not consider the change point, this paper construct a new SBRGM incorporating change point, named CPSBRGM. Based on the new proposed model, reliability for software is evaluated under the framework of belief reliability theory. Method to estimate unknown parameters in the proposed model is also provided. The new proposed model is validated on three datasets and compared with the previous SBRGM. Results show that the new proposed model can clearly distinguish the change point during software testing, and is more in line with the actual software test situation than previous model without considering change points. • This paper construct a new SBRGM incorporating change point. • Reliability for software is evaluated based on belief reliability theory. • The new proposed model is validated on three datasets.
