Research of Software Reliability Based on Synthetic Architecture

In this paper we introduce some typical architecture-based software reliability model for software architecture reliability estimation, and modify model of software reliability estimation so that to improve precision of estimating software architecture reliability. Our approach is based on Markov chain properties and software architecture. At the same time, we propose the method of how to use the modified model to make a reliability estimation in a synthetic architecture so that to expand the application domain of this model. In addition, we conduct an experiment on to validate this method..
