Program Tools for Estimation of the Green Software Reliability

Abstract

The paper deals with a review of the current software of estimation of the green software reliability. The paper demonstrates that any software is capable of becoming a “green” one if it is at the high reliability level, which has to be continuously measured and controlled. In order to implement these actions, the paper offers the results of reviewing the most frequently used software performing the reliability estimation. On the basis of the analysis of this software characteristics a taxonomic system of classification features describing its (software) functionality and the ease of presentation of the estimation results with the help of this software is offered. By using the offered taxonomy a system of classification of software reliability estimation tools was created. The conclusions of the current trends of research in the area of reliability estimation and green software development were made.
