ABSTRACT
Software reliability evaluation and growth models are mostly based on software testing. These methods need to be carried out after coding. It will be great benefit to the cost of software development, if evaluate the software reliability and improve it earlier. This study proposed a software reliability evaluation method. The method is based on the software network, evaluate the reliability at the architecture level of software. Using this method can evaluate the software reliability before coding. It can provide reference for the optimization of software structure design and improve the software reliability in the early stage of software development.
