Using Fault Modeling in Safety Cases
For many safety-critical systems a safety case is built as part of the certification or acceptance process. The safety case assembles evidence to justify that the design and imple...

A Framework for Testing Peer-to-Peer Systems
Developing peer-to-peer (P2P) systems is hard because they must be deployed on a high number of nodes, which can be autonomous, refusing to answer to some requests or even unexpec...

Assessing the Effect of Software Failures on Trust Assumptions
The contribution of this paper is a technique to assess whether software failures during operational use can invalidate the trust assumptions and, hence, the adequacy of the softw...

The Effect of the Number of Defects on Estimates Produced by Capture-Recapture Models
Project managers use inspection data as input to capture-recapture (CR) models to estimate the total number of faults present in a software artifact. The CR models use the number ...
