Abstract

Summary form only given. The Space Shuttle Primary Avionics Software Subsystem (PASS) represents a successful integration of many of the computer industry's most advanced software engineering practices and approaches. Beginning in the late 1970's this software development and maintenance project has evolved one of the world's most mature software processes applying the principles of the highest levels of the Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model and ISO 9001 Standards. This software process, considered to be a "best practice" by many software industry organizations includes state-of-the-practice software reliability engineering (SRE) methodologies. Life-critical PASS produced by this process is recognized to be among the highest quality and highest reliability software in operation in the world. Using this application, we show how SRE can be applied to: interpret software reliability predictions, support verification and validation of the software, assess the risk of deploying the software, predict the reliability of the software, develop test strategies to bring the software into conformance with reliability specifications, and make reliability decisions regarding deployment of the software.

软件可靠性工程在NASA航天飞机上的成功应用

只提供摘要形式。航天飞机主要航空电子软件子系统(PASS)代表了许多计算机工业最先进的软件工程实践和方法的成功集成。从20世纪70年代末开始，这个软件开发和维护项目已经发展成为世界上最成熟的软件过程之一，应用了软件工程协会能力成熟度模型和ISO 9001标准的最高水平的原则。这个被许多软件行业组织认为是“最佳实践”的软件过程包括了实践状态的软件可靠性工程(SRE)方法。该过程产生的生命关键PASS被公认为是世界上运行的质量最高、可靠性最高的软件之一。使用这个应用程序，我们展示了如何将SRE应用于:解释软件可靠性预测，支持软件的验证和确认，评估部署软件的风险，预测软件的可靠性，开发测试策略以使软件符合可靠性规范，并做出有关软件部署的可靠性决策。
