Software Reliability Test Methods Based on Component Composition and Markov Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the continuous improvement of the software quality requirements, more and more attentions are paid to the reliability of software systems. Most of the existing reliability models rely on the cumulative test time to characterize the reliability improvement, while ignoring the saturation effects and software module failure characteristic differences exist, making the test results to low confidence. In this paper, Markov description methods are utilized in reliability calculating process to improve the fictitious-excellence problem in current testing models. Finally, the method is applied to a flight control system software reliability testing. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
