Abstract

With the spread of the Internet and the development of Web technology, web-based software such as web applications and web services has been in the spotlight and widely used. Accordingly, ensuring web-based software reliability is becoming important, and the efforts to develop highly reliable software in the web environment are required. Compared with traditional software, research on the reliability of web-based software is not enough, and the dynamic execution environment of the web makes the reliability evaluation of web-based software much more complicated. In this paper, we deal with reliability evaluation issues in the web environment and compare with each other in terms of failure data collection methods, reliability evaluation techniques, and validation schemes. We also evaluate them based on hypothetical execution scenarios, analyze the strengths or weaknesses of each technique, and identify the remaining open problems.
