Software-Hardware Interdependent Reliability Assessment Technique for Software-Intensive Complex Systems

The current reliability testing methods cannot precisely evaluate the comprehensive reliability of Software-Intensive Complex Systems. In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to research the method of carrying out the softwarehardware interdependent reliability test. In this thesis, we do research on Software-hardware interdependent fault mode of Software-Intensive Complex Systems by collecting and studying the faults occurred in practical filed use. Then we design the software-hardware testing profile by adding software test profile to the reliability test profile, and put forward the idea about designing the test environment of software-hardware testing, which constitute a whole plan of software-hardware testing. And then a case study is demonstrated, which testifies the validation of the technique.
