Abstract

The Information Dependability Attribute Value Estimation model helps users reason about the return on investment of software dependability investments. iDAVE estimates the relative ROI for achieving the desired values for dependability attributes and helps select the most effective software dependability strategies. The authors describe its overall structure and illustrate its use in determining the ROI of dependability investments for a commercial order-processing system and a NASA planetary rover project.
