Software Reliability—Status and Perspectives
C. V. Ramamoorthy, Farokh Bastani · IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering · 1982
It is essential to assess the reliability of digital computer systems used for critical real-time control applications (e.g., nuclear power plant safety control systems). This involves the assessment of the design correctness of the combined hardware/software system as well as the reliability of the hardware. In this paper we survey methods of determining the design correctness of systems as applied to computer programs.
