Theory and Technology Research on the Software Health Management

The software health management (SWHM) is a new field, which mainly deals with some critical need to detect, diagnose, predict and mitigate adverse events caused by software related faults and failures. These faults come from different sources such as code errors, unpredicted faults, hardware failures or some problematic interaction with the external environment. This article discusses the latest development and research of software health concept and techniques. And the article summarizes the problem of current research, and proposes the developing trend. At last, we explain the process of software health monitoring taking the service software system as example.
