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.

“…In the past few decades, software reliability analysis approaches have been developed a lot, most of which are software reliability growth models (SRGMs) [1], which are proposed according to traditional software development. SRGMs take software as a whole and use system failure dataset collected during testing and operational phases to model software reliability growth procedure.…”

“…Since domain experts may provide a number of input profiles from different kinds of users, profile algorithm first calls initProfile() to normalize these profiles for input profile of user interface. Function initProfile() averages all input profiles with their input probabilities as weights to obtain user interface profile csa.first −> input [i].profile = j csa.usage [ j].input [i].profile * csa.usage [ j].P (1) Then the algorithm defines a stack for traversal through CSA model composed of nodes which denote call actions and the actions nesting calls. We consider three program structures nesting calls: sequence, loop and branch, since these three fundamental structures are enough to realize any program function [5].…”

SUMMARYWith the rise of component-based software development, its reliability has attracted much attention from both academic and industry communities. Component-based software development focuses on architecture design, and thus it is important for reliability analysis to emphasize software architecture. Existing approaches to architecture-based software reliability analysis don't model the usage profile explicitly, and they ignore the difference between the testing profile and the practical profile of components, which limits their applicability and accuracy. In response to these issues, a new reliability modeling and prediction approach is introduced. The approach considers reliability-related architecture factors by explicitly modeling the system usage profile, and transforms the testing profile into the practical usage profile of components by representing the profile with input sub-domains. Finally, the evaluation experiment shows the potential of the approach.
