Software Reliability...You're Kidding, Right?

Thursday
Presentation

   Is software reliable or not? Clearly software must perform some useful function without failure within an operational system when needed or there would not be a market for software products. But software failures happen; we’ve all seen or heard about some of them. Software systems fail primarily when a design flaw is encountered during execution and the system in which the software is operating performs unexpectedly -- a defect or “bug” is found. Understanding how defects get into software, how and when they are detected, and how they are removed provide a key measure of the overall evolving operational quality of software products. Software reliability engineering provides methods and measures to quantify software product operational quality. The F-35 Software management team is developing, introducing, and deploying software reliability practices to capture this statistical measurement of software reliability and is using this measurement to predict software quality. These practices will be executed in concert with the current software development measurement activities already in place which are being used to quantitatively manage the development of F-35 Air System software.
