Abstract

With respect to component software reliability analysis, additive models are the first attempt to build the NHPP model of a component software application. However, additive models do not employ a white-box approach to analyze the application architecture. And they assume NHPP models of all components to be available regardless of how to build them according to component software testing process. In this paper, the above two problems of additive models are solved. Simulation is adopted to realize the mapping from testing profile to operational profile of components in order to build their NHPP models. And then, a state-based white box approach is used to integrate all the NHPP models of components to create the NHPP model of a component software application. Our model includes the benefits of both black box and white box approaches. The evaluation experiment showed the effectiveness of our model.
