Software trustworthiness evaluation is a multi-dimensional evaluation problem, which can be accurately evaluated according to decision science. Group decision-making method is a comprehensive method for handing the multi-dimensional evaluation problems. VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje technique has been widely used in decision science. In this work, a novel group decision-making method for software trustworthiness evaluation is provided. An ideal data center is established according to golden section in order to quantify the quality of decision data. A golden section-entropy-based method is introduced in order to determine the weight of decision-maker. A new normalization-projection measure is developed in order to test the closeness between evaluation matrix and reference matrix in software evaluation process. Two specific regret matrices are provided in new VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje method. A comprehensive group decision-making method is provided and applied to software trustworthiness evaluation. A new ranking method under a static environment and a new ranking method in a dynamic environment are provided in this work. The feasibility and practicability developed method are illustrated by an experimental analysis. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method produces a stable ranking of alternatives, with over 85% agreement in the dynamic experimental cases.
