Software Reliability
Journal Title: International Journal of Computational Engineering and Management IJCEM - Year 2012, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
Unreliability of any product comes due to the failures or presence of faults in the system. As software does not “wear-out” or “age”, as a mechanical or an electronic system does, the unreliability of software is primarily due to bugs or design faults in the software. Reliability is a probabilistic measure that assumes that the occurrence of failure of software is a random phenomenon. Randomness means that the failure can’t be predicted accurately. Software reliability is the probability of the failure free operation of a computer program for a specified period of time in a specified environment. Software Reliability is dynamic in nature. It differs from the hardware reliability in that it reflects design perfection, rather than manufacturing perfection. Software reliability refers to the probability of failure-free operation of a system.
