Research on the Integration Credibility Model of COTS

Abstract:

The integration credibility model of the component is constructed by inspecting the sub-attributes of the component and calculated by summarizing the probability with experience. The component is quantified from its reliability, usability, testability, security and maintainability thus providing a numerical measurement method that is directly comparable. According to the component’s integration credibility, the component customers select the component from the database to reduce the risk of the system integration.
