Abstract

Abstract: ARMOR (Analyzer for Reducing Module Operational Risk) is a software risk analysis tool which automatically identifies the operational risks of software program modules. ARMOR takes data directly from project database, failure database, and program development database, establishes risk models according to several risk analysis schemes, determines the risks of software programs, and displays various statistical quantities for project management and engineering decisions. Its enhanced user interface greatly simplifies the risk modeling procedures and the usage learning time. The tool can perform the following tasks during project development, testing, and operation: establish promising risk models for the project under evaluation; measure the risks of software programs within the project; identify the source of risks and indicate how to improve software programs to reduce their risk levels; and determine the validity of risk models from field data.
