Introduction This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 982.1-2005, IEEE Standard Dictionary of Measures of the Software Aspects of Dependability. Rationale for revision:

6、In accordance with Software Engineering Standards Committee (SESC) policy, the first standard (this document) is a small document with just a few core measures dealing with reliability, maintainability, and availability. This will be followed by a second standard that will address safety, confidenti

7、ally, and integrity. This standard has not been revised since 1988. It was reaffirmed in 1996, but there were significant negative comments. It has been revised because many of the original measures had the following undesirable characteristics: Unrealistic (i.e., there was naivety about the necessa

8、ry data, personnel capabilities, and training to effectively use the measures) Did not measure what they purported to measure Complex equations that were hard to understand and implement Immature (i.e., they were not widely used) Little field data to back up claims for benefits History This standard

9、 is 15 years old, and additional information on the topic has been developed since that time. This project updated the standard to include such information and to expand the scope of the standard. Specifically, the following topics were included in the standard: a) Determined specific criteria for i

10、nclusion of measures in the standard b) Performed a measure-by-measure review of the measures in the standard, with the following goals: 1) Determined whether the measure should be modified, retained, or deleted, based on the criteria. The modified and retained measures are identified in this standa

11、rd by their numbers from the original IEEE 982.1 standard (i.e., IEEE 982 #X). 2) Added any additional information on the measures developed since 1988. 3) Clarified definition and implementation conventions. 4) Identified and incorporated, where appropriate, new measures that have appeared since 19

12、88. 5) Formulated generic measure classes and categorized the measures into these classes. These classes are reliability, maintainability, and availability. iv Copyright 2006 IEEE.

28、view 1.1 General This standard has the following clauses: Clause 1 provides the scope of this standard. Clause 2 provides a set of definitions. Clause 3 through Clause 5 specify new, modified, and existing measures for reliability, respectively. Clause 6 and Clause 7 specify new measures for maintai

29、nability and availability, respectively. In addition, there are three informative annexes. Annex A documents the process that was used to determine whether a measure in the existing standard should be modified, retained, or deleted; this annex states the criteria that were used to determine whether

30、a measure should be included in the standard, including new measures. Annex B describes the Software Reliability Engineering Case Study, which provides a case study example of how to apply selected measures in Clause 3. Annex C is a glossary of terms taken from The Authoritative Dictionary of IEEE S

31、tandards Terms B8.1Annex D is a bibliography that provides additional information about measures in Clause 3 through Clause 7. Table 1 summarizes the categories of measures. Numerical applications of the measures can be found in the reference(s) that are keyed to each measure. 1The numbers in bracke

35、bility7.2 Network availability1.2 Scope This standard specifies and classifies measures of the software aspects of dependability. It is an expansion of the scope of the existing standard; the revision includes the following aspects of dependability: reliability, availability, and maintainability of

36、software. The applicability of this standard is any software system; in particular, it applies to mission critical systems, where high reliability, availability, and maintainability are of utmost importance. These systems include, but are not limited to, systems for military combat, space missions,

37、air traffic control, network operations, stock exchanges, automatic teller machines, and airline reservation systems. 1.3 Purpose This standard provides measures that are applicable for continual self-assessment and improvement of the software aspects of dependability. 1.4 Compliance An application

38、of the measures specified herein complies with this standard if Clause 2 through Clause 7 are implemented, with the exception of subclauses identified as either “Experience” and “Tools”. These subclauses are intended to (1) provide information about application domains for a given measure and (2) id

39、entify the types of tools appropriate for computing that measure. IEEE Std 982.1-2005 IEEE Standard Dictionary of Measures of the Software Aspects of Dependability 3 Copyright 2006 IEEE.

40、ormation that can help support certain evaluations discussed in other IEEE Software Engineering Standards. The following list is meant to be suggestive: IEEE/EIA Std 12207.0 Subclause 6.4.2 of IEEE/EIA Std 12207.0 lists verification tasks, and 6.5 lists validation tasks. Dependability measures may p

41、rovide useful quantitative information that will help satisfy these tasks. For example, in 6.4.2.5, one criterion states (among other requirements) that “the code implements correct data and control flow.”1IEEE Std 1074TMSubclause A.5.1 discusses evaluation activities, including reviews, traceabilit

42、y, testing, and reporting evaluation results. Dependability measures can provide useful quantitative information that can be used to assist these activities.2,3IEEE Std 1012TMThis standard lists verification and validation tasks, inputs, and outputs in Table 1. The dependability measures provided in

43、 this standard can provide useful quantitative information that can assist many of the tasks listed in this table. 2. Definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. The glossary in Annex C and The Authoritative Dictionary of IEEE Standards Terms B8 should b
