Software is everywhere. However, software is not always trustworthy. Confronting the demand of software trustworthiness evaluation, this paper proposes a novel software trustworthiness evaluation approach based on combination weights (CW) and improved TOPSIS methods. The determination of CW relies on exper gments and mathematical computation together. FAHP method is used to determine the import...
