However, only few techniques consider failure propagation in system architectures for system reliability assessment. Those techniques focus only on content failure propagation through component interfaces. Therefore, the evaluation of CBSS architectures based on the current techniques fails to consider the impacts of all failure types on system reliability. In this paper, we present a failure propagation analysis technique for CBSSs. We analyze failure propagation based on architectural service routes (ASRs). An ASR is a sequence of components that are connected through interfaces. We discuss the attributes of ASRs with respect to system components and present their impacts on failure propagation and consequently on the reliability of CBSSs. Further analysis determines upper and lower bounds of failure propagation among components and shows some relationships between system reliability and architectural attributes. Our technique is not limited to any failure type, and it considers failure scattering and masking. Therefore, unlike other works, the proposed technique demonstrates more accurate representation of the practical aspect of failure propagation in CBSSs. The technique can also be used to achieve reliable designs in the early design stages of CBSSs and to localize component faults in the operational stage. We compare different example architectures based on their impacts on system reliability.","PeriodicalId":6446,"journal":{"name":"2008 The Eighth International Conference on Quality Software","volume":"25 1","pages":"402-411"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73531342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important first step in improving the reliability of an operating system is to first gain insights into why and how the bugs originate, contributions of the different modules to the bugs, their distribution across severities, the different ways in which the bug may be resolved and the impact of bug severity on the resolution time. To gain this insight we conducted an extensive analysis of the publicly available bug data on the Linux kernel over a period of seven years. Our observations suggest that the Linux kernel may draw significant benefits from the continual reliability improvement efforts of its developers. These efforts, however, are disproportionately targeted towards popular configurations and hardware platforms, due to which the reliability of these configurations may be better than those that are not commonly used. Thus, a key finding of our study is that it may be prudent to restrict to using common configurations and platforms when using open source systems such as Linux in applications with stringent reliability expectations.","PeriodicalId":6446,"journal":{"name":"2008 The Eighth International Conference on Quality Software","volume":"39 7 1","pages":"396-401"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77736713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If the local testers cannot interact with one another and there is no global clock then we are testing in the distributed test architecture and this can introduce additional controllability and observability problems. While there has been interest in test generation algorithms that overcome controllability and observability problems, such algorithms lack generality since controllability and observability problems cannot always be overcome. In addition, traditionally only deterministic systems and models have been considered despite distributed systems often being non-deterministic. This paper describes recent work that characterized the power of testing in the distributed test architecture in the context of testing from a deterministic finite state machine and also work that investigated testing from a non-deterministic finite state machine and testing from an input output transition system. This work has the potential to lead to more general test generation algorithms for the distributed test architecture.","PeriodicalId":6446,"journal":{"name":"2008 The Eighth International Conference on Quality Software","volume":"150 1","pages":"11-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84468671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
