2. INTRODUCTION Reliability requirements are a critical aspect of software engineering as they address the potential for failures that may disrupt service delivery. These requirements establish the maximum allowable failure rate for a software system and can be applicable to the entire system or its individual functions. In this lab experiment, we aim to determine the system reliability and its corresponding failure rate, which are essential components of software reliability testing.
3. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this lab experiment are as follows: To gain familiarity with the concept of software reliability testing. To become acquainted with the concept of software failure rate and its importance in software engineering.
4. PROCEDURE In this lab experiment, we will use the following formulas to find the system reliability (Rs) and the failure rate (FR): System Reliability (Rs) Formula: Rs = Ra * (1 - F Rb * F Rd) * Rc
Failure Rate (FR) Formula:
FR = 1 - Rs
5. IMPLEMENTATION To implement the procedure outlined in this lab, follow these steps: Collect the relevant data and parameters for Ra, Rb, Rd, and Rc. Calculate the values of F Rb and F Rd as per your dataset. Use the Rs formula to calculate the system reliability. Determine the failure rate by subtracting Rs from 1. Figure: 01
Failure rate of B is FRb= 1 − Rb = 1-.95 = 0.05
Failure rate of C is FRc= 1 − Rc = 1-0.9 = 0.1 Failure rate of D is FRd= 1 − Rd = 1-.97 = 0.03 Failure rate of C is FRe= 1 − Re = 1-0.9 = 0.1
Let, the system reliability is Rs,
then Rs = Ra ∗(1-FRb∗FRb) ∗ (1-FRc∗Fre) = 0.97∗(1-0.05∗0.03) ∗(1-0.1∗0.1) = 0.97∗(1-0.0015) ∗(1-0.1∗o.1) = 0.97∗(0.9985)∗(.99) = 0.9588 = 96%
Failure Rate of Rs is FRs = 1-Rs
= 1-0.9588 = 0.04114 = 4% 6. TEST RESULT The results of our calculations show that the system reliability (Rs) is approximately 0.9588 which is nearly 96%. Additionally, the failure rate of the system (FRs) is approximately 0.04114, which is approximately 4%
7. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
In this section, we discuss the significance of the system reliability and failure rate values obtained. A system reliability of approximately 96% indicates a high level of trustworthiness in the software, which is often desirable in critical applications. However, a failure rate of approximately 4% suggests that there is still room for improvement to achieve an even more reliable system. This lab report assessed your understanding of software reliability and your ability to calculate system reliability and failure rates. Additionally, it considered your attitude and skills demonstrated during the experiment, with particular focus on accuracy and precision in calculations.
