ABSTRACT
The chapter investigates the advantages of integrating software’s dependability with its durability to strengthen the service life of the software. Failures, dangers, errors, quality, and faults are all important from a coordinated perspective of dependability and durability. Durability is frequently used to describe relationships based on software service between superiors and inferiors over a certain period, being dependable frequently connotes a commitment to one's interests rather than honesty in the performance of duties. To meet the stated objective, the chapter examines dependability analysis into durability concepts related to faults, failure, and hazards; defines the relationship between dependability and durability, including the life cycle and fault parameters for durability; and explores the techniques, models, and management tools for combining dependability and durability concepts.
