Rujuan Liu · Journal of Chinese Computer Systems · 2009
Service Oriented Software Reliability(SOSR) is an emerging research area,since dynamic and collaborative nature of Service-Oriented Architecture(SOA) presents new challenges to traditional software reliability research and practice.This paper analyzes the unique reliability research problems of SOA from two perspectives: reliability modeling and reliability evaluation,and surveys the state-of-the-art software reliability techniques.Based on the traditional Architecture-Based Reliability models,the paper proposes a new framework for modeling and evaluating SOSR on three levels: single service,service pool and service composition.It also discusses the key techniques for service reliability modeling,service pool fault-tolerant mechanism,on-line service monitoring,service reliability testing,operational profile,and SOSR evaluation.
