Abstract

Reliability of a software system has been one of the driving forces for the various software engineering processes and methodologies that led to their evolution and sophistication. The concerns for reliability of a software system surface very early on during the development phases of the software system. When it comes to acquisition of reliability, we should not immediately get model-oriented; instead every minutia of software development life cycle should be given its due. This paper outlines the areas where reliability needs to pick up. This paper underlines the fact that it is only through carefully controlled and carefully applied software engineering process that software reliability growth can be achieved. It emphasizes on the acquisition of reliability of software systems as soon as the conception phase. We trace the reliability concerns from the early stage to the fully functional stage. The terms “hard reliability” and “soft reliability” are used.
