Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this chapter, we have discussed the methods of reliability analysis for an embedded OSS developed under on an open source project. Especially, we have proposed a stochastic differential equation model in order to consider the active state of the open source project, where we have assumed that the software failure intensity depends on the time, and the software fault-reporting phenomena on the bug tracking system keep an irregular state. Moreover, we have derived several assessment measures in terms of imperfect debugging of an entire system under such open source development paradigm. Especially, we have applied the exponential and S-shaped intensity functions of inherent software failures for the i -th component importance level to the interaction among components by using an acceleration parameters. Furthermore, we have shown the transitional probability of S(t) in Eq. (26). In case of considering the effect of debugging process on an entire system on software reliability assessment for open source projects, it is necessary to grasp the deeplyintertwined factors. In this chapter, we have shown that our method can describe such deeply-intertwined factors. Especially, we have applied BN technique in order to consider the effect of each software component on the reliability of an entire system under such open source development paradigm. By using the BN, we have proposed the method of reliability assessment incorporating the interaction among software components. Moreover, we have proposed the fault-detection rate based on BN used as the portability assessment measure for the embedded OSS. Finally, we have focused on an embedded OSS developed under open source projects. New distributed development paradigm typified by such open source project will evolve at a.
