“…Several research works have been reported on hardwaresoftware system testing approaches (Desai et al 2016;Gao and Deng 2016) or fault detection techniques (Lu et al 2015;Zhang et al 2016a, b). However, literature addressing reliability evaluation of combined hardwaresoftware is limited in number (Park et al 2012;Hayakawa et al 2001).…”

Apart from hardware and software-specific failures, failures arising from hardware-software interaction causes notorious system failures. Researches have reported two types of interaction failures in a system: hardwaredriven software failure and software-driven hardware failure. An efficient reliability prediction approaches must consider all types of interactions. We critically analyse the existing reliability prediction models for the combined hardware-software system. We also propose a comparison framework to evaluate the existing reliability models for combined hardware-software systems. The results of our study suggest that none of the considered approaches completely satisfy the characteristics of a good reliability prediction model. Existing approaches hardly consider all types of hardware-software interactions. They also fail to consider reliability aspects of distributed systems where a system interacts with external devices. Our proposed comparison framework can be used as a benchmark to construct an efficient reliability prediction model for combined hardware-software systems.
