A Practical Approach to the Performance Analysis of Software Components using Calibrated Software Reliability Growth Models
نویسنده
چکیده
Many software tools have been proposed for the purpose of performance analysis and measurement on software executables. The results produced by such tools are visually displayed based on run-time characteristics of software executables without suggesting the fitness of executables at the operational environment. This is because run-time characteristics of an executable are not static for every running instance even in the same platform and same machine configuration. In this paper, an efficient method has been introduced to estimate fitness of software executables to the operational environment by incorporating Software Reliability Growth Models. The objective of this new method is to suggest the level of fitness of software applications based on reliability measures. For this purpose, existing reliability growth models are calibrated and run-time attributes of executables have been employed instead of failure data. The estimation of fitness at the operational environment of software executables will reduce the complexities in both performance analysis and maintenance.

Developing Reliable yet Flexible Software through If-Then Model Transformation Rules
Developing reliable yet flexible software is a hard problem. Although modeling methods enjoy a lot of advantages, the exclusive use of just one of them, in many cases, may not guarantee the development of reliable and flexible software. Formal modeling methods ensure reliability because they use a rigorous approach to software development. However, lack of knowledge and high cost practically fo...

متن کاملAn Analytical Approach to Architecture-Based Software Reliability Prediction
Prevalent approaches to software reliability modeling are black-box based, i.e., the the software system is treated as a monolithic entity and only its interactions with the outside world are modeled. However, with the advancement and widespread use of object oriented systems design and web-based development, the use of component-based software development is on the rise. Software systems are b...
