Reliability Prediction for Component Based Software by Using Soft Computing Techniques

Abstract

newline With the growing desideratum of software for frequent changes in computer newlinetechnologies, the quality of software has become very important for software newlinecompanies, due to which, the demand of quality software development within less newlinetime and cost is increasing day by day. With the accelerating demand, every customer newlinewants a quality product with high reliability. These requirements boost the use of newlinereusability concepts which reduce development efforts and assure good quality newlinesoftware. Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) supports the practice of newlinebuilding software from the pre-existing reusable component. By adopting the reusable newlineconcepts of CBSE, the developer can develop more reliable products in minimum newlinetime in comparison to the development of new software from scratch. Moreover, newlineCBSE has a number of factors like reusability that affects the reliability of the system. newlineThe reusability is an ideal key factor to improve the reliability and quality of software newlineby using reusable and testable components. It is found that component reliability is newlinedirectly proportional to reusability and components interaction.
