Abstract

Software reliability is defined as the probability of the failure free operation of a software system for a specified period of time in a specified environment. Day by day software applications are growing more complex and with more emphasis on reuse. Component Based Software (CBS) applications have emerged. The focus of this paper is to provide an overview for the state of the art of Component Based Systems reliability estimation. In this paper, we discussed various approaches in terms of their scope, model, methods, technique and validation scheme. This comparison provides insight into determining the direction of future CBS reliability research.
