A Classification Model for Software Trustworthiness

Software trustworthiness evaluation is a new direction in software trustworthiness research area,and related theories and methods are still under study.Based on the analysis of the intension of software trustworthiness,a layered software trustworthiness classification model is proposed.The model defines the software trustworthiness attribute model and the classification levels,establishes a reference model for software trustworthiness evidences,and describes the intrinsic relations between trustworthiness attribute,trustworthiness level,trustworthiness evidence and trustworthiness evaluation guideline.The software trustworthiness classification model provides an effective method for building software trustworthiness evaluation mechanism.
