The rapid advancement of computer technology motivates software developers to use commercial off-the-shelf software components for system growth. For particular architectural elements (for instance, components), the reliability criteria associated with testing-based conventional procedures are unknown. In the traditional reliability estimation, the probabilistic method is applied. The source data problem, which depends on a number of factors that may or may not correspond to the real working conditions of the system, is this technique's major shortcoming. The component-based software reliability estimation is based on a number of parameters, including the individual component reliability, transition probability, failure rate, etc. Fuzzy logic converts fuzzy data into useful information, making it easier to develop creative solutions for vague and uncertain concepts based on various factors that influence reliability. To assess the reliability of component-based systems, the authors provide a fuzzy logic technique, which has the ability to improve the question of uncertainty.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
