Abstract The software development environment has been changing into a new development paradigm in CSSs (client/server systems) by the use of network computing technologies. Therefore, it is important to assess the reliability of software system in a distributed development environment because of increasing demands on quality and productivity in social systems. However, it is difficult to assess software reliability in recent years because the complexity of software systems has been increasing as a result of distributed system development. In this paper, we propose a software reliability assessment method considering the interaction among software components in the system‐testing phase of a distributed development environment. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
