Reliability Demonstration Testing Method for Safety-Critical Embedded Applications Software
Zhidong Qin, Hui Chen, Youqun Shi · 2008
In order to solve the problem that the fixed duration testing method, which based on the classical statistics, canpsilat satisfy the requirements of reliability testing for modern safety-critical embedded applications software due to the long testing duration, a hierarchical reliability demonstration approach was provided in this paper. The method unified architecture-based reliability modeling, maximum entropy principle and Bayesian inference. Numeral simulation shows that it is effective to reduce the testing duration without decreasing the confidence level for the testing results.
