Abstract: This paper introduces a platform for reliability analysis of safety-critical digital I&C software. A hierarchical structure model (HSM) method is proposedfor modeling the structure of software at different layers of abstraction during software development life cycle. A software reliability estimation method based on Flow Network Model (FNM) and Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) is presented. By integrating the functions of HSM construction, source code structure and logical path identification, sensitive analysis and reliability estimation into the platform, it is expected to provide a comprehensive assist in the design, development, test and V&V activities of safety-critical digital I&C software.
