Testing peer-to-peer (P2P) systems is difficult because of the high numbers of nodes which can be heterogeneous and volatile. A test case may be composed of several ordered action...
—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
