This study proposes a method to measure software reliability according to software reliability measurement model to measure software reliability. The model presented in this study uses the distribution of Non - Homogeneous Poisson Process and presents a measure of the software reliability of the presented model. As a method to select a suitable software reliability growth model according to the presented model, we have studied a method of proposing an appropriate software reliability function by calculating the mean square error according to the estimated value of the reliability function according to the software failure data. In this study, we propose a reliability function to measure the software quality and suggest a method to select the software reliability function from the viewpoint of minimizing the error of the estimation value by applying the failure data.

기존의 소프트웨어 신뢰성 측정 방법으로는 하드웨어와 소프트웨어가 유기적으로 얽혀있는 정보 가전기기 임베디드 시스템에서는 적용하기 어려운 점이 있다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 임베디드 소프트웨어 신뢰성 측정 시 소프트웨어에 따른 하드웨어 부분을 포함하는 방법으로 신뢰성 측정이 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 정보 가전기기의 임베디드 소프트웨어 개발에서의 하드웨어와 결합된 신뢰성 측정 방법을 제시하고 세탁기를 기준으로 성능평가를 통해 임베디드 소프트웨어 신뢰성을 확보하였다.

Since nuclear power plants (NPPs) increasingly employ digital I&C systems, reliability evaluation for NPP software has become crucial for NPP probabilistic risk assessment. Several methods for estimating software reliability have been proposed, but there is no available tool support for those methods. To support NPP software manufacturers, we propose a reliability measurement tool for NPP software. We designed our tool to provide reliability estimation depending on available qualitative and quantitative information that users can offer. We applied the proposed tool to an industrial reactor protection system to evaluate the functionality of this tool. This tool can considerably facilitate the reliability assessment of NPP software.

This research studied the evaluation of reliability among the software quality characteristics: suitability, reliability, usability, portability, maintainability, performance efficiency, security, and compatibility. It proposes a quantitative evaluation of reliability in the measurement of software quality. This study introduces a method for measuring the failure rate included in maturity during reliability evaluation, which is one of the characteristics of software quality, and is a study with experimental data on how the failure rate changes depending on the form of failure data. Focusing on software testing, the failure rate was measured and compared according to the type of failure data by applying it to the software reliability growth model, focusing on the number of failures per day. The failure rate was measured around the failure time found through the 6-day test, and the failure rate was compared with the failure rate proposed by the international standard ISO/IEC 25023 using the measurement results, and the application was reviewed according to the data type.

Software quality evaluation system and software evaluation criterion have to be defined to evaluate software reliability. In this study, we develop software reliability quality metrics for evaluating of software reliability and research for testing of suitable criteria of software reliability. To accomplish a study successfully, we have to estimate the failure time of software using the number of software bugs. Software reliability is very important in software quality. We propose the estimation of software reliability. We propose the software reliability metrics and the software testing method that the basis of international standard ISO/IEC 9126 in software testing metrics.

In this paper, we propose a software quality measurement metrics of ISO / IEC 25023, which is newly proposed for software quality evaluation, to compare the difference with ISO / IEC 9126-2 which was used for software quality evaluation. In this paper, we propose a method for evaluating the quality of reliability based on the software reliability growth model among the eight quality characteristics presented in ISO / IEC 25023. Based on ISO / IEC 25023, software-quality evaluations demonstrate that there is some risk in evaluating reliability when based on data.

As requirements of embedded system get complicated, the tool for analyzing the reliability of embedded software is being needed. A probabilistic modeling is used as the way of analyzing the reliability of a software and to apply it to embedded software controlling multiple devices. So, it is necessary to specialize that to embedded software. Also, existing reliability analyzers should measure the transition probability of each condition in different ways and doesn't consider reusing the model once used. In this paper, we suggest a reliability analyzer for embedded software using embedded software Markov chin model and a unit testing tool. Embedded software Markov chain model is model specializing Markov chain model which is used for analyzing reliability to an embedded software. And a unit testing tool has host-target structure which is appropriate to development environment of embedded software. This tool can analyze the reliability more easily than existing tool by automatically measuring the transition probability between units for analyzing reliability from the result of unit testing. It can also directly apply the test result updated by unit testing tool by representing software model as a XML oriented document and has the advantage that many developers can access easily using the web oriented interface and SVN store. In this paper, we show reliability analyzing of a example by so doing show usefulness of reliability analyzer.

신뢰도 높은 소프트웨어 개발의 필요성은 전혀 새로운 것이 아니다. 요즘 들어, 소프트웨어의 크기와 복잡도가 증가함으로 인해 소프트웨어의 결함 때문에 발생하는 시스템 고장이 전체 시스템 고장에서 많은 비중을 차지하고 있다. 고 신뢰도를 요구하는 시스템의 소프트웨어는 복구블록, 분산 복구블록, N-버전 프로그래밍, N 자기검사 프로그래밍과 같은 소프트웨어 결함허용 기법들을 사용하고 있다. 이러한 소프트웨어 결함허용 기법들에 대한 연구와 함께 소프트웨어 결함허용 기법들의 의존도 측정에 관한 연구 또한 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 마르코프 모델을 사용해서 소프트웨어 결함허용 기법들의 보다 자세한 신뢰도 모델링과 가용도, 안전도 등에 관한 모델링을 제시한다. 제안된 모델 분석 결과 같은 수의 대체블록이 있을 때는 분산 복구블록, 복구 블록, N 자기검사 프로그래밍, N-버전 프로그래밍 순으로 의존도가 높음을 알 수 있다. 또한 소프트웨어 결함허용 기법들의 신뢰도민감성 분석에서는 복구블록과 분산 복구블록인 경우는 적응검사의 결함발생율에, N-버전 프로그래밍인 경우는 프로그램 버전의 결함발생율에 더 민감한 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to measure teachers' beliefs to teach software education effectively. Based on the revised version of the STEBI-B questionnaire, factors influencing the software education were added through the literature review and composed of sub-factors of the category of personal software education teaching efficacy and software education outcome expectancy. And then, 146 in-service elementary school teachers were surveyed preliminary 35 questions. The collected data were analyzed by factor analysis and reliability analysis, and 5 items were deleted to complete the final item. A factor analysis and reliability analysis of the final 30 questions were conducted to demonstrate the appropriateness of the item composition, and software education teaching efficacy belief instrument(SE-TEBI) was developed.

소프트웨어를 기능 단위인 부품으로 분류하고 소프트웨어 부품을 조합하여 개발해 나가는 컴포넌트 기술은 개발비용의 감소와 소프트웨어 전체의 신뢰성 향상을 목적으로 주목되고 있다. 그러나 재사용의 대상이 되는 각 컴포넌트의 신뢰성이 낮고 오히려 전체의 신뢰성을 손상시키는 결과가 나타나고 있다. 결국, 컴포넌트의 신뢰성 향상이 매우 중요하고 이를 위해 컴포넌트에 대해 품질을 측정할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 소스코드가 공개되지 않은 소프트웨어 컴포넌트에 대해 블랙박스의 개념으로 보고 정적 측면에 대한 품질을 측정하는 기법을 제안한다.
