Source Codes Oriented Software Trustworthiness Measure Based on Validation

الملخص EN

Validation is critical to the success of software trustworthiness measurement.

A large number of software trustworthiness measures are proposed; however, most of them are not validated from a theory perspective.

Therefore, they lack theoretical foundation and will induce unnecessary cost and useless calculation.

In this paper, we bring measurement theory into software trustworthiness measurement, construct a source codes oriented software trustworthiness measure based on extensive structure in the measurement theory, and validate the developed measure by use of axiomatic approaches.

Compared with some software trustworthiness measures that are already presented, this measure can evaluate software trustworthiness better from a theory perspective.
