Early Reliability Assessment Of Component-Based Software System Using Coloredpetri Net, Amir Hosseinzadeh Mokarram, Ayaz Isazadeh, Habib Izadkhah

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Assessment of reliability in the early stages of software development from architectural models is one of the major challenges that many studies have addressed in this field in the last decade. The main drawbacks of existing methods are the following: 1) considering equal impact for all parts of the software architecture on system reliability, and 2) inability to determine the contribution of each part of the software in the system failure. This paper introduces the extended version of the colored petri net as an underlying verifiable model to evaluate the reliability of a software system. The proposed model enhances reliability …
