METHOD TO ASSESS RELIABILITY OF COMPLEX SOFTWARE FUNCTIONING

Alexandr N. Kovartsev, Darya A. Popova-Kovartseva

Abstract

It has been established that the software reliability concept has many specific features and differs significantly from the concept of reliability of technical systems. This greatly complicates the task of assessing overall reliability of a complex software product. The paper introduces a new reliability indicator—average reliability—as well as a method to assess average reliability of a complex software system based on known characteristics of its modules. The introduced approach is theoretically justified.
