A Modeling of Software Architecture Reliability

This paper introduces software architecture reliability estimation and some typical software reliability model based architecture. We modify model of software reliability estimation so that to improve precision of estimating software architecture reliability. At the same time, this paper proposed the simplified method of calculating software architecture reliability based on the state transition matrix. The improved model is validated by an application system in the paper, and the result show that the precision is effectively increased.
