Reliability Measurement of an Object Oriented Design:A Systematic Review

Reliability is one of the highly significant quality indicators of object oriented software. Its proper measurement or evaluation, constantly facilitate and improve the software development process. On the other hand, reliability has always been a mysterious theory and its truthful measurement or evaluation is a complex exercise. Researchers and practitioners have always argued that reliability should be considered as a key feature in order to promise the quality software. A perfect measure of software quality fully depends on reliability measurement, and as an outcome estimating reliability is a complex problem attracting significant research consideration.

This review paper presents the results of a systematic literature review conducted to gather facts on software reliability estimation of object oriented design. In this review paper, our contribution is to discover the available recognized comprehensive and an absolute model or frameworks for measuring the reliability of object oriented design at an early phase of development life cycle.
