....about its internal structure. The counterpart of this is, of course, the fact that more sophisticated data is needed to use it. With respect to the black box approach, just a few papers have been published on structural software reliability models. A representative sample is [12] 13] 2] 9] 10] [15], 7] 1] This paper adopts this point of view and propose a general model as an attempt to answer some objections that have been made to this approach, namely (i) the fact that previous published models may need unrealistic assumptions to be applied and (ii) the analytic and algorithmic ....

....methods can be used to describe how software is physically decomposed. The two most popular categories of software design methods are Structured Design (SD) and Object Oriented Design (OOD) Previous work on structural reliability models assumes that software is designed according to SD principles [2, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13]. The proposed model assumes that software is designed according to OOD principles. 2.1 Model Components In this first attempt at using OOD to define the components and relationships of the structural model, it is found that OOD methods such as Booch s [1] or Rumbaugh et al. 11] are too ....

....Such relationships are the basis of methods for calculating a total software system reliability figure from the reliability of the components. The relationships at the base of the current structural model follow one of two trends: execution path based [12, 13] or module transition based [2, 5, 6, 7]. Note that the word module here is loosely employed to include any definition of module. Although the practicality of the execution path approach is questionable, execution paths are preferred to the transition probability models because the Markov process basis of the latter does not reflect ....
