Abstract

Today software has become the driving force for the development of all kinds of businesses, engineering, sciences, and the global economy – software reliability affects not only our lives and the global economy today but also affects the future of mankind. As pointed by David Rice, like cement, software is everywhere in modern civilization. One cannot live in modern civilization without touching, being touched by, or depending on software in one way or another [Ric08].
