Software Reliability Trends and Mechanism: A Conceptual Framework

Abstract

Software Reliability is an intra-disciplinary research area that paves the way for finding a perspective that prioritizes the needs and satisfaction of customers about software quality. This paper attempts to establish practical and useful capabilities of software reliability in boisterous paradigms, with a focus on reliability improvement that has a direct bearing on the software's caliber. This paper observes the denotation of software reliability and reviews reliability analysis techniques, where the design process is recognized as the primary origin of software defects. The emergence of various design methodologies for reliability models has been a direct consequence of this phenomenon. A comprehensive framework has been presented in this study for the selection of a reliability growth model. The framework proposed in this study aims to tackle the challenge of determining and effectively utilizing qualitative information for reliability analysis. The framework utilized in this study is founded upon the review of the literature approach. Its purpose is to augment the effectiveness of reliability prediction in addressing qualitative processes.

The present paper suggests the extraction of information from diverse literature reviews, design tools, and databases, which will then be integrated into this framework. Through the review of the literature, the writer has recognized a structure comprising qualitative components that can be utilized to assess, understand, and ultimately improve the degree of dependability in a versatile manner.
