TESEM: A Tool for Verifying Security Design Pattern ApplicationsHironori Washizaki
Because software developers are not necessarily security experts, identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities in the early stage of the development process is often insufficient. Even if these issues are addressed at an early stage, it does not guarantee that the final software product actually satisfies security requirements. To realize secure design and implementation, we propose extended security patterns, which include requirement- and design-level patterns as well as a new model testing and model-based code testing process. Our approach is implemented in a tool called TESEM, Test Driven Secure Modeling Tool, which supports pattern applications by creating a script to execute model testing automatically (ARES'13, IJSSE'14, ICST'15). Moreover we recently extended the tool to support testing of security design patterns implementation by preparing testcase templates (ARES'14). By using the tool, developers can specify threats and vulnerabilities in the target design and implementation according to security design patterns, verify whether the security patterns are properly applied, and assesses whether these vulnerabilities are resolved.

A Review on Parameter Estimation Techniques of Software Reliability Growth Mo...Editor IJCATR
Software reliability is considered as a quantifiable metric, which is defined as the probability of a software to operate
without failure for a specified period of time in a specific environment. Various software reliability growth models have been proposed
to predict the reliability of a software. These models help vendors to predict the behaviour of the software before shipment. The
reliability is predicted by estimating the parameters of the software reliability growth models. But the model parameters are generally
in nonlinear relationships which creates many problems in finding the optimal parameters using traditional techniques like Maximum
Likelihood and least Square Estimation. Various stochastic search algorithms have been introduced which have made the task of
parameter estimation, more reliable and computationally easier. Parameter estimation of NHPP based reliability models, using MLE
and using an evolutionary search algorithm called Particle Swarm Optimization, has been explored in the paper.

A Novel Approach to Derive the Average-Case Behavior of Distributed Embedded ...ijccmsjournal
Monte-Carlo simulation is widely used in distributed embedded system in our present era. In this
research work, we have put an emphasis on reliability assessment of any distributed embedded system
through Monte-Carlo simulation. We have done this assessment on random data which represents input
voltages ranging from 0 volt to 12 volt; several numbers of trials have been executed on those data to
check the average case behavior of a distributed real time embedded system. From the experimental result, a saturation point has been achieved against the time behavior which shows the average case behavior of the concerned distributed embedded system.
SRGM Analyzers Tool of SDLC for Software Improving QualityIJERA Editor
Software Reliability Growth Models (SRGM) have been developed to estimate software reliability measures such as
software failure rate, number of remaining faults and software reliability. In this paper, the software analyzers tool proposed
for deriving several software reliability growth models based on Enhanced Non-homogeneous Poisson Process (ENHPP) in
the presence of imperfect debugging and error generation. The proposed models are initially formulated for the case when
there is no differentiation between failure observation and fault removal testing processes and then this extended for the case
when there is a clear differentiation between failure observation and fault removal testing processes. Many Software
Reliability Growth Models (SRGM) have been developed to describe software failures as a random process and can be used
to measure the development status during testing. With SRGM software consultants can easily measure (or evaluate) the
software reliability (or quality) and plot software reliability growth charts.

Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

5. SOFTWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Failure cause: Software defects are mainly design defects.
Wear-out: Software does not have wear-out phase.
Repairable system concept: Periodic restarts can help fix
software problems.
Time dependency and life cycle: Software reliability is not a
function of operational time.
Environmental factors: Do not affect Software reliability, except
it might affect program inputs.
Reliability prediction: Software reliability can not be predicted
from any physical basis, since it depends completely on human
factors in design.
Redundancy: Can not improve Software reliability if identical
software components are used.
Interfaces: Software interfaces are purely conceptual rather
visual.
Built with standard components: Well-understood and
extensively-tested standard parts will help improve
maintainability and reliability. But in software industry, this trend
is not observed. Code reuse has been around for some time, but to a
very limited extent. Strictly speaking there are no standard parts
for software, except some standardized logic structures.

6. SOFTWARE FAİLURE MECHANİSMS
Design Faults: Software faults are mainly design faults
which are harder to visualize, classify, detect, and correct.
Interfaces: Software can fail if interfaces are not correct.
(Interfaces are conceptual rather than visual in case of
software.)
Errors, Ambiguities, Oversights or Misinterpretation
in the software requirement specification.
Carelessness or Incompetence in writing code.
Inadequate testing.
Incorrect or Unexpected usage of the software.
Other unforeseen problems.

9. MEASURİNG SOFTWARE
RELİABİLİTY
Current approaches for measuring software reliability are
basically parallel to those used for hardware reliability
assessment with appropriate modifications in account for
the inherent differences between software and hardware.
A number of Software reliability models have been
proposed to address the problem of software reliability
measurement. These approaches are based mainly on the
failure history of software and can be classified according to
the nature of the failure process.
Assessed value of the software reliability measure is always
relative to a given use environment. Two users exercising
two different sets of paths in the same software are likely to
have different values of software reliability.
Measuring software reliability remains a difficult problem
because we don't have a good understanding of the nature
of software. 9
10. o Transient: Transient failures occur only for
certain inputs.
o Permanent: Permanent failures occur for all
input values.
o Recoverable: When recoverable failures occur
the system recovers with or without operator
intervention.
o Unrecoverable: the system may have to be
restarted.
o Cosmetic: May cause minor irritations. Do not
lead to incorrect results. Eg. mouse button has to
be clicked twice instead of once to invoke a GUI
function.

13. SOFTWARE RELİABİLİTY MODELS
A software reliability model specifies the form of a
random process that describes the behavior of
software failures with respect to time.
Software reliability models have emerged as
people try to understand the characteristics of how
and why software fails, and try to quantify
software reliability.
Over 200 models have been developed since the
early 1970s, but how to quantify software
reliability still remains largely unresolved.
There is no single model that can be used in all
situations. No model is complete or even
representative.
13
14. CATEGORIES OF SOFTWARE
RELIABILITY MODELS WITH KEY
ASSUMPTIONS
Times Between Failures (TBF) Models
* Independent times between failures.
* Equal probability of the exposure of each fault.
* Embedded faults are independent of each other.
* Faults are removed after each occurrence.
* No new faults introduced during correction, i.e., perfect fault removal.
Fault Count (FC) Models
* Testing intervals are independent of each other.
* Testing during intervals is reasonably homogeneous.
* Numbers of faults detected during non overlapping intervals are
independent of each other.
Fault Seeding (FS) Models
* Seeded faults are randomly distributed in the program.
* Indigenous and seeded faults have equal probabilities of being detected.
Input Domain Based (IDB) Models
* Input profile distribution is known.
* Random testing is used.
* Input domain can be partitioned into equivalent classes. 14
18. COMPONENTS OF A SOFTWARE
RELİABİLİTY MODEL
Most software models contain the
following parts:
Assumptions,
Factors,
A mathematical function which relates
the reliability with the factors, which is
usually a higher order exponential or
logarithmic function.
18
19. SOME WELL KNOWN SOFTWARE
RELIABILITY MODELS
Jelinsky and Moranda Model
Basic Execution Time Model
Logarithmic Poisson Time Model
The Bug Seeding Model
Shooman Model
Littlewood-Verrall Model
Goel-Okumoto Model
Musa-Okumoto Model
19
20. This model is the earliest and probably the best known
reliability model. It proposed a failure intensity function
in the form:
λ(t)=φ(N-i+1)
Where
φ= constant of proportionality
N= total number of errors present
i= number of errors found by time interval ti
In this model each time an error is repaired reliability
does not increase by a constant amount.
Reliability improvement due to fixing of an error is
assumed to be proportional to the number of errors
present in the system at that time.
JELINSKI AND MORANDA MODEL
20
21. BASIC EXECUTION TIME MODEL
This model was developed by J.D. Musa in 1979 and is
based on execution time.
In this model, the decrease in failure intensity, as a
function of the number of failures observed, is
constant and is given as:
Where λo: Initial Failure Intensity
Vo: Number of failures experienced, if a program is
executed for infinite time period.
µ: Average or expected number of failures experienced
at a given period of time.
τ: execution time.
21
22. LOGARITHMIC POISSON TIME
MODEL
This model is also developed by Musa et. al.
[MUSA79].
The failure intensity function is different here as
compared to basic model. In this case the failure
intensity function decreases exponentially whereas it is
constant for basic model.
λ(µ)= λo exp(-θ µ)
Where
θ: called the failure intensity decay parameter. (represents the
relative change of failure intensity per failure experienced)
The expected number of failures for this model is
always infinite at infinite time.
At larger value of execution time, the logarithmic
poison time model will have larger value of failure
intensity than the basic model.
22
23. There is no universally applicable software
reliability model. So the given process is followed
to deploy a model.
SELECTION OF MODEL
After fitting a model
describing the failure
process, the total
number of faults in the
code, future failure
intensity and additional
time required to achieve
a failure intensity
objective can be
estimated.
23
24. UNCERTAINTIES IN SOFTWARE
RELİABİLİTY MODELING
TECHNIQUES
There are two main types of uncertainties
which render any reliability measurement
inaccurate:
Type 1 Uncertainty:
our lack of knowledge about how the system will be
used, i.e. its operational profile
Type 2 Uncertainty:
reflects our lack of knowledge about the effect of
fault removal.
When we fix a fault we are not sure if the corrections are
complete and successful and no other faults are
introduced
Even if the faults are fixed properly we do not know how
much will be the improvement to inter-failure time. 24
25. STATİSTİCAL TESTİNG
Statistical testing is a technique in which a
model of the statistical distribution of the input
is used to construct representative test cases.
The objective of statistical testing is to determine
reliability rather than discover errors.
It is different from defect testing.
Different users have different operational profile
i.e. they use the system in different ways
(formally, operational profile).
In statistical testing the input data is divided
into a number of input classes e.g. create, edit,
print, file operations, etc.
25
26. PERFORMING A STATISTICAL TEST
Determine the operational profile of the software:
This can be determined by analyzing the usage
pattern.
Manually select or automatically generate a set
of test data:
corresponding to the operational profile.
Apply test cases to the program:
record execution time between each failure
it may not be appropriate to use raw execution
time
After a statistically significant number of failures
have been observed:
reliability can be computed. 26
27. CONCLUSİONS
Software reliability is a key part in
software quality.
Software reliability improvement is hard.
There are no generic models.
Measurement is very important for
finding the correct model.
Statistical testing should be used but it is
not easy.
Software Reliability Modelling is not
simple.
