Abstract£ºIn order to generate software reliability test data for automatic flying
control system software£¬ some new concepts of software reliability including test
profile£¬ environmental profile are established£® The generating technique of test
profile from mission profile and the generating method of test data obtained from test
profile are developed£¬ i£®e£® the input data is classified as the system mode data and
environmental data£¬ then system mode profiles and environmental profiles are formed
under the mission profile respectively£® Furthermore£¬ the two formed profiles are
combined as a test profile£® The environmental data are decomposed into controlled
components and stochastic components£¬ and the simulation method is reused to generate
the controlled components to produce the environmental data for the complicated
association test£® It is shown that the proposed method can describe the practical cases
of software application more accurately with a similar way to describe the reliability
test of hardware£¬ and can be regarded as a reliability test foundation for synthesizing
hardware and software systems£®
