“…Also, the familiarity with UML makes it understandable and easy to adopt for complex communicating code modules. In continuation of our past work [25,26] that introduced FFBDs in system analysis, we investigated various formal techniques and found FFBRD as defined in this paper with semantics of UML for visualization, prediction and estimation processes.…”

The current requirements of software are intensively based on load sharing, on-demand services, cascading requirements, redundancy for reliability and executing on heterogeneous environments. It needs precise architectural details for development of such software systems. These are large scale software systems with complex interactions amongst the constituent components. Testing for performance and conformance to quality requires perspective modeling fordesigning critical systems. The analysis of these systems is focused on dynamic or execution time behavior for achieving quality. In the same context, this paper redefines Functional Flow Specification for dynamic analysis of critical and collaborating systems. Functional Flow based modeling is a mature concept in the domain of system engineering but is rarely applicable to software systems. Functional Flow Block Reliability Diagram (FFBRD) is a notation for abstract view of the system evolution and interactions. This adopts the specification format of UML and system modeling conventions of SysML specially Enhanced Functional Flow Block Diagram (EFFBD). The flow of data and control are so designed that it best suits the approaches for quality analysis like system reliability. The method proposed is System Reliability with UML or SR-UML for generating test through FFBRD. It also caters to the need of designing software in a familiar formalization for extending, translating and simulating with existing algorithms. From the results collected through various scenarios, we can conclude that SR-UML is instrumental in process improvement of current software development methods

“…Deriving test information before implementation is based on the models and is adopted formally as Model Based Testing [7]. It explores the implementation of requirements as functionalities and identifies the probable cause of failures by testing design models as they are built [8]. Models are the simplified representation of the system and are equally acquiescent for automated testing.…”

In the current scenario, component-based system development approaches have led to reuse based development and espousal of large-scale software systems.To analyze the design of such systems and assess its performance is not a trivial task. Model-based testing tools have maturely signified the success of functional testing of such systems. An urge to spawn the testing of non-functional behavior from development models is further expected. Reliability assessment is one such aspect. However, the design models have not been employed in the prevailing nonfunctional assessment techniques. Assuming the strength of such models and the need to devise assessment measures, an attempt to formalize architectural models to this context is presented in the paper. Our paper focuses on deriving an intermediate notation for non-functional evaluation of the software systems. The concept of modeling, annotating constraints and making a visual of component interaction patterns is the scope of the work. The new model thus generated has features similar to the System's Engineering "Functional Flow Diagram" and will be used with same definitions for the software components.
