....the time spent executing instructions inside a component. 3.2.2 Component Reliability This paper assumes that the component reliabilities are available. Component reliability can be derived using Software Reliability Models (SRMs) Software Reliability Growth Models, or fault seeding models [3]. The following provides a general discussion as to how component reliability should be obtained and used. First, components should be tested and or inspected separately before they are integrated with other components. A significant number of faults may be detected during component testing and or ....

....to clarify its impact on reliability predictions. This assumption is needed to simplify the execution path model into equation 3.15; however, doing so results in a loss of prediction accuracy. The details of the impact of this assumption on the reliability prediction accuracy are presented in [3]. The assumption results in slightly pessimistic predictions of reliability compared to the true reliability of the system. The impact of the assumption is therefore acceptable because it is better to be pessimistic rather than optimistic about reliability. 3.3.2 Component Independence The field ....
