ABSTRACT: Software reliability is defined as the
probability of the failure-free operation of a software system for a specified
period of time in a specified environment. Traditional approaches for software
reliability analysis are black box approaches. These approaches use the
software as a whole. At present, main emphasis of software is on reuse, hence
component based software applications came into existence. Black box models are
not appropriate for these applications. This paper introduces some significant
factors for reliability estimation of Component Based Software Applications.
Reliability of Component Based Software Application depends upon these factors.
This paperalso gives the
definition of factors and explains its relation with reliability of software
application.
