This presentation identifies a set of external attributes of software architectures, then investigates techniques to quantify them by means of corresponding internal attributes. The work is illustrated by an industrial strength example |

This presentation describes "work in progress" directed to answering this question. The two COTS systems to which SRE is being applied are FireWall products that are (or were) under assessment for particular EAL certification (both were being assessed at EAL 4, a level corresponding to use in a high-security environment. |

There is a need to predict reliability before the code is tested and even prior to completion of its development. This reliability model predicts the software reliability of its new code based upon the development’s organization metrics of its previously released code along with its present development capability. |

Many practitioners don’t have access to software reliability tools, or don’t have have the knowledge to use them effectively. This presentation shows how to help practitioners by using Excel in combination with reliability tools to do reliability predictions, fault correction predictions, model validations, and various plots. |

for Testing Graphical User Interfaces This presentation describes work in generating test sequences for Graphical user Interfaces. The presentation summarizes research that has been applied to real development efforts. The test generation methods focus on state diagrams and regular events for systematically generating scalable test sequences. |

This presentation focuses primarily on the problem of GUI systems testing. Clearly for large GUI systems, there is insufficient time to exhaustively test all potential combinations. The proposed approach is to select those tests of greatest interest to the user: to specifically test those behaviors the user is most interested in. In addition, the total testing time is always limited, and may even be unknown. Therefore, more time must actually be spent running tests and less time for analysis to determine the tests to be run. |

The presentation elaborates on the author’s novel modularized approach, given in his ISSRE’01 presentation, to correlate knowledge extracted from the application of reliability engineering models, and characterization of dynamic simulation of executable objects together with that related to the characterization of user-profile and behaviors of past test cases that have been executed at least once during test past releases. The presentation also highlights difficulties encountered in deploying such technology within a large organization. Finally, the author intends to stimulate discussions with regard to extending the applicability of the methodology presented to system validation, making the technology transition smoother and finally, discuss collaboration between educational institutions (i.e., academia) and professional institutions (e.g., IEEE) to improve SW Eng practices. |
