Query: Addressing Components' Evolvement and Execution Behavior to Measure
  Component-Based Software Reliability   Software reliability is an important quality attrib-ute, often evaluated as
either a function of time or of system structures. The goal of this study is to
have this metric cover both for component-based software, be-cause its
reliability strongly depends on the quality of constituent components and their
interactions. To achieve this, we apply a convolution modeling ap-proach, based
on components' execution behavior, to integrate their individual reliability
evolvement and simultaneously address failure fixes in the time do-main.
Modeling at the component level can be more economical to accommodate software
evolution, be-cause the reliability metric can be evaluated by reus-ing the
quality measures of unaffected components and adapting only to the affected
ones to save cost. The adaptation capability also supports the incremental
software development processes that constantly add in new components over time.
Experiments were con-ducted to discuss the usefulness of this approach.
