马尔可夫链模型在软件可靠性测试中的应用

Application of Markov Chain Model for Software Reliability Testing

现行的软件可靠性分析方法禁锢了人们从更简单层次对软件系统的可靠性进行研究。基于上述认识,为了缩短软件测试周期,文中提出了一种新的软件可靠性测试分析方法。该方法把马尔可夫链模型运用于软件可靠性测试中,在测试过程中使用了新的评判准则分析测试结果,通过实例证明了该评判准则的实用性和有效性。从而为更快速地评估软件的可靠性提供了可能。

Traditional software reliability analysis methods sometimes restrain study of software reliability. Based on cognition above and in order to shorten the period of software testing, this paper presented a new methodology to test and analyze software reliability. In this method, Markov Chain Model was used in software reliability testing. In the testing process, it used new judge standard to analyze the testing result. The judge standards are the practicability, efficiency through examples. It enables assessing software reliability more quickly.
