摘要：
Because of changes in the environment and needs, software evolution often occurs and leads to changes in software architecture (SA). The existing structural software reliability models have a beneficial effect on the evaluation of the initial software architecture, but it has limitations in real-time analysis of software evolution. From the software architecture modeling, the software evolution is described as an atomic operation sequence by using the algebraic method and the reliability influence of each step in the sequence is tracked. Accordingly, a procedural reliability analysis method is established. The approach can be used to analyze the key links and the overall trend of evolution, and further feedback and constrain the evolution scheme design, ultimately to improve the quality of software products. Two practical examples are analyzed and discussed in detail, and the validity and usability of the proposed approach are verified. Copyright © 2021 Acta Automatica Sinica. All rights reserved.
