Abstract

Software reliability is the end-user view of software quality. It cannot be directly measured, so other related factors such as development process, faults and failures are measured to estimate the software reliability. In this paper, an architecture-based software reliability estimation model is analysed and it is proposed to extend for complex distributed software systems by incorporating the effects of logical and physical components, interlink reliability and the hierarchy of subsystems. The given model is applied by taking a case study of software-based enterprise resource management system. Software reliability can be improved by detecting and removing the defects. Here, frameworks are proposed to continuously improve the logical and physical interlink reliability of the software to improve the overall reliability of distributed software systems over its life cycle by the technique of product and process improvement with the help of defect management system.
