Reliability Assessment of Component-Based Software System Using Fuzzy-AHP

摘要

Software reliability is one of the most commonly discussed research issues in the field of software engineering. Reliability of software concerns both the maker and the buyer of the software. It can be defined as a collection of attributes that check the capability of software to assure the needed performance in given conditions for a particular span of time. Most of the estimation models proposed till date have focused only on some conventional factors internal to the software. In this paper, we try to analyze the reliability of software using a FAHP approach. The proposed model considers the factors external to a component-based software that affects its reliability. Analysis shows that by considering these factors a more efficient model for estimating reliability in CBSE systems.
