An Ontology-Based Identification Framework for Distrustable Factors

Abstract

Software defect impacts software trustworthiness, which is considered as the main reason of the failure of software system. However, it was inadequate to study why defect was introduced. Meanwhile, the information that the stakeholders had recorded the reasons of software defect were diverse and subjective. Hence, The paper contributes a new perspective to analyze the reason of software defect. We proposes an ontology-based identification framework to seek and identify distrustable factors. This paper takes an example to seek and identify the distrustable factors by the principles. We specify them in each stage of software life cycle; moreover, describe the relationships among distrustable factors with definitions. The last, we try to develop an ontology based identification framework of distrustable factors for presenting hierarchy of these factors.
