The Performance Quantitative Model Based on the Specification and Relation of the Component

The trustworthiness of software is crucial to some safety critical areas. Performance is an important attribute of software trustworthiness. Software component technology is the mainstream technology of software development. How to achieve the performance of component systems efficiently and accurately is a challenging issue for component-based software development. In this paper, the performance quantification method of the component is proposed. First, performance specification is formally defined. Second, a refinement relation is introduced and the performance quantification method of the component system is presented. Finally, a case study is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.
