A conservative confidence bound for the probability of failure on demand of a software-based system based on failure-free tests of its components

Abstract: Highlights• A novel approach to the statistical testing of software-based systems • Derives a system confidence bound (for the software)from tests on components• Valuable for a large-scale, high reliability system where the whole system is unavailable for long term statistical testing• Some surprising results on the worst case impact of software diversity

“…In addition to accuracy, parameters include other variables such as low load stability, high load stability, maximum load accuracy, overload behavior, and others. In the process of searching for these properties an internal terminology of parameters and phenomena is proposed for the description, representation, and evaluation of the calibration with detailed output [Bishop 2020].…”

“…In a recently published paper [22] Bishop and Povyakalo offer a method for estimating the probability of failure on demand of a software system built with components from testing the system and offer a conservative method of assessing the confidence in this probability. The method uses the "structure function" defined for the system under study and assumes that none of the software components fails in testing.…”
