“…As a result, it is necessary to propagate the uncertainties in these parameters to the uncertainty in the estimate of the application reliability. A few research efforts that address this issue have limited applicability since they consider only a single type of architectural and component failure models [85], [38], [20]. In addition to uncertainty quantification, it is also necessary to establish a confidence interval for the reliability estimate to determine the risk associated with the estimate.…”

“…István et al [12,13] shed some light on ways to fully automate dependability analysis, applied to the Fault-Tolerant CORBA, using graph transformations into their VIATRA framework. The work from Singh et al [21] provides a prediction algorithm to analyse the reliability of the system prior to its construction. Their approach requires the user to provide global behavior scenarios other than the local behavior of the components interactions.…”

Abstract. Scenarios are a popular means for capturing behavioural requirements of software systems early in the lifecycle. Scenarios show how components interact to provide system level functionality. If component reliability information is available, scenarios can be used to perform early system reliability assessment. In this paper we present a novel automated approach for predicting software system reliability. The approach involves extending a scenario specification to model (1) the probability of component failure, and (2) scenario transition probabilities derived from an operational profile of the system. From the extended scenario specification, probabilistic behaviour models are synthesized for each component and are then composed in parallel into a model for the system. Finally, a user-oriented reliability model described by Cheung is used to compute a reliability prediction from the system behaviour model. The contribution of this paper is a reliability prediction technique that takes into account the component structure exhibited in the scenarios and the concurrent nature of component-based systems. We also show how implied scenarios induced by the component structure and system behaviour described in the scenarios can be used to evolve the reliability prediction.

SUMMARYSystem scenarios that derived from system design specification play an important role in the reliability engineering of componentbased software systems. Several scenario-based approaches have been proposed to predict the reliability of a system at the design time, most of them adopt flat construction of scenarios, which doesn't conform to software design specifications and is subject to introduce state space explosion problem in the large systems. This paper identifies various challenges related to scenario modeling at the early design stages based on software architecture specification. A novel scenario-based reliability modeling and prediction approach is introduced. The approach adopts hierarchical scenario specification to model software reliability to avoid state space explosion and reduce computational complexity. Finally, the evaluation experiment shows the potential of the approach.
