SOFTWARE RELIABILITY ISSUES: AN OVERVIEW

摘要

This paper describes various key concepts of software reliability issues using a concept map for easier and faster understanding of this important topic. A concept map is a two-dimensional representation of cognitive structures showing the hierarchies and interconnections of concepts. Robust software design techniques including Enhanced Single-Version Programming (ESVP), N-Version Programming (NVP) have been described. The proposed "Enhanced Single-Version- Based N-Version Programming (ESNVP) " approach of designing ultra-reliable software is also briefly presented here. This paper aims to present an overview of some complex issues concerning software reliability by the graphical representations of software reliability knowledge.
