Transforming Operational Profiles of Software Components for Quality of Service Predictions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current Quality-of-Service (QoS) predictions methods for component-based software systems disregard the influence of the operational profile for anticipating an architecture’s performance, reliability, security or safety. The operational profile captures the set of inputs and outputs to a software components. We argue, that a detailed operational profile especially for software components is necessary for accurate QoS-predictions and that a standardised form of it is needed. We demonstrate that components act as transformers to an operational profile and discuss that this transformation has to be described, so that QoS prediction methods are able to deliver appropriate results for component-based architectures.

Operational Profiles for Software Reliability
Software needs to be tested extensively before it is considered dependable and trustworthy. To guide testing, software developers often use an operational profile, which is a quantitative representation of how a system will be used. By documenting user inputs and their occurrence probabilities in such a profile, it can be ensured that the most used functions of a system are tested the most. Tes...

متن کاملSome issues in multi-phase software reliability modeling
During early software testing phases, testing profiles are often very different from operational profiles. Consequently, assessment of operational software quality during these non-operational testing stages is difficult, and is open to interpretation. The paper discusses some issues related to this. Software is assumed to be a large system composed of components that evolve in parallel. The fo...
