Reliability measurement for operational avionics software
John Thacker, F. Ovadia · NASA STI Repository (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) · 1979
Quantitative measures of reliability for operational software in embedded avionics computer systems are presented. Analysis is carried out on data collected during flight testing and from both static and dynamic simulation testing. Failure rate is found to be a useful statistic for estimating software quality and recognizing reliability trends during the operational phase of software development.
