Abstract: 

The traditional trustworthiness evaluation of running software is inaccurate and incomplete because each component is as an independent unit during reliability evaluation. According to the drawbacks of traditional models, this paper proposed a trustworthiness evaluation approach of component-based software based on level. The trustworthy behavior trace diagram of component-based software was presented based on the call relation between components, and it described the trustworthy behavior trace of component in a recursive manner. With the combination of reliability and security of component, the paper proposed the dynamic trustworthiness evaluation of running software based on level and the trustworthiness evaluation approach of software based on running paths. Experiments and analyses showed that the approach could evaluate the dynamic trustworthiness of running component-based software more accurately, and could realize the trustworthiness evaluation of component-based software through the tests of running paths.
