Reliability Analysis of COTS-based Software System
نویسنده
چکیده
With more emphasis on reuse of software applications, the commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) based software systems have emerged. As a result, reliability analysis of COTS-based software system has gained prominence. The focus of this paper is to provide an overview for the state of the art of COTS-based software system reliability analysis. In this paper, we first describe the definition of COTS and reliability. Then, we discuss approach and structure of COTS-based software system reliability.

Prediction of non-functional properties of (Component) COTS-based Systems: A Model for Predicting Software Reliability
On the outset, components or COTS-based systems offers several advantages, including the promise of shorting the development life cycle, reducing costs of software development and faster utilisation of recent technical improvements in software industry in terms of capability, reliability, compatibility, performance and so forth. Many (initially!) believed that developing COTS-based systems woul...
متن کاملReliability Bounds Prediction of COTS Component Based Software Application
In this paper a unique methodology based on the execution scenario analysis of the COTS component based software application has been formulated to help the developers and integrators to regain some control over their COTS component based software application systems by predicting the upper and lower bound on the reliability of their application systems. At the component level the CFG (control ...
متن کاملGoal Programming Approach for Selection of COTS Components in Designing a Fault Tolerant Modular Software System under Consensus Recovery Block Scheme
The application of computer systems has now crossed many different fields. Systems are becoming more software intensive. The requirements of the customer for a more reliable software led to the fact that software reliability is now an important research area. One method to improve software reliability is by the application of redundancy. A careful use of redundancy may allow the system to toler...
متن کاملAnalysing the Impact of Change in COTS-Based Systems
Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software components promise benefits in terms of greater productivity, reduced time to market and reliability. However, their blackbox nature poses significant challenges assessing and managing the impact of change. We propose an approach to help developers to understand the impact of change. It relies on the use of a COTS componentoriented development process an...
