面向可靠性评估的软件架构描述语言图形化研究

Research on Visualization of Reliability Evaluation Oriented Architecture Description Language

为了在架构设计和开发阶段能尽早开展软件测试工作,建立架构可视化测试平台是有效的手段之一,而架构描述语言图形化是建立该可视化平台的前提.在研究了面向可靠性评估架构描述语言RE/ADL的基础上,提出该架构描述语言图形化的表示方法,分别从总体的、精练的、层次的不同视角总结了架构的建模元素(组件、连接件、配置及复合组件/连接件)与可靠性评估相关属性的图形表示,便于架构的验证和分析.

For taking software test in earlier stage of software design and development, it is a good method to build up a visualization platform for architecture design and test, and the visualization of ADL is a foundation for that. Based on researching of an ADL for reliability evaluation - RE/ADL, a visualized presentation for the ADL is proposed; the visualized presentations for properties of reliability evaluation related modeling elements of architecture, such as components, connectors, configurations, and compound component/connectors, are analyzed from different views, e.g. general, refined, layered, etc, so that the analysis and verification of architecture can be taken conveniently.
