Software Metrics and Reliability


• According to ANSI, “ Software Reliability is defined as the
probability of failure – free software operation for a specified
period of time in a specified environment”.

• IEEE defines Reliability as “ The ability of a system or


component to perform its required functions under stated
conditions for a specified period of time”

Faults and Failures


• It is the departure of the external results of program
operation from requirements

FAULT
• A Fault is a defect in a program which arises when
programmer makes an error.

• It Causes Failure when executed under particular conditions

Testing Reliability Metrics

• First approach is “ensuring that the system is fully equipped


with the functions that are specified in the requirements”.
• Second approach is “Evaluating the code, Finding the errors
and fixing them”.

Conclusion

• Software Reliability is the probability that the software will


work without failure for a specified period of time
• Achieving the software reliability is hard as the complexity of
the software tends to be high
• Software Reliability can be increased by applying metrics at
different stages of software development life cycle.
