CSI - Pune Chapter presents a program on
Hardware Reliability Principles – Applications for Software
Abstract :
Software reliability is a relatively nascent field. On the other hand, hardware reliability principles and practices have been well-established in industry for over 30 years. It is natural to imagine using hardware reliability principles in software applications. In this talk, Dr Maheendra Kasmalkar will discuss his experience with application of reliability principles in product development. This discussion will include role of reliability in planning, designing, testing and tracking of products. Dr Kasmalkar will compare hardware practices and their equivalents in software applications. He will also offer his insights into the current status of software reliability and paths for breakthroughs in this field.
