Design, Testing, and Evaluation Techniques for Software Reliability Engineering

چکیده
Software reliability is closely influenced by the creation, manifestation and impact of software faults. Consequently, software reliability can be improved by treating software faults properly, using techniques of fault tolerance, fault removal, and fault prediction. Fault tolerance techniques achieve the design for reliability, fault removal techniques achieve the testing for reliability, and fault prediction techniques achieve the evaluation for reliability. In this paper we present best current practices in software reliability engineering for the design, testing, and evaluation purposes. We describe how fault tolerant components can be applied in software applications, how software testing can be conducted to show improvement of software reliability, and how software reliability can be modeled and measured for complex systems. We also examine the associated tools for applying these techniques.

Software Engineering is associated with development of software products using well defined principles, techniques and processes. The result of Software Engineering is an effective and reliable product. The software products have chances to fail during implementation and design phases. The design time testing and reliability measurement can enhance the process of development and their component...
متن کاملCoverage-based testing strategies and reliability modeling for fault-tolerant software systems
Software permeates our modern society, and its complexity and criticality is ever increasing. Thus the capability to tolerate software faults, particularly for critical applications, is evident. While fault-tolerant software is seen as a necessity, it also remains as a controversial technique and there is a lack of conclusive assessment about its effectiveness. This thesis aims at providing a q...
متن کاملAnother Motivation for Usage Models: Generation of User Documentation
The reliability of a software product depends on the number of residual faults as well as on its usage. Trustable reliability testing techniques therefore rely on a formal usage model that allows to test software under conditions similar to its intended usage. The effort to define a usage model is significant, but it pays off not only in terms of reliability prediction but also by supporting sy...
