The group liaises with other related groups such as the Centre for Software Reliability, Formal Methods Europe, the London Mathematical Society Computer Committee, the Safety-Critical Systems Club, and the Z User Group.

It is considered easier to verify software reliability if one can be sure that different parts of the program can only access ( and therefore depend on ) a known limited amount of information.

In 2004, he had a chaired session at the International Conference on Software Engineering and Applications ( ICSEA ), and he was a guest co-editor of an ACTA special issue on software reliability in 2005.

Under his leadership CISQ has recently had a standard for computing Automated Function Points approved by OMG . CISQ has also released s standard for computing automated measures of software reliability, performance efficiency, security, and quality.
25.
The Software Reliability Case can be created or maintained to serve the needs of a support organization in sustaining reliability objectives and be used to supply the data needed by independent, regulatory, and / or third party certification bodies.
26.
The methodology explains how to build predictive statistical models for software reliability and robustness and shows how simulation and analysis techniques can be combined with structural design and architecture methods to effectively produce software and information systems at Six Sigma levels.
27.
The field of dependability has evolved from these beginnings to be an internationally active field of research fostered by a number of prominent international conferences, notably the International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks, the International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering.

"This is just throwing good money after bad if the programming techniques that create the problems in the first place are not fixed, " said Peter Neumann, a computer scientist and a software reliability expert at SRI International in Menlo Park, Calif.
29.
Its central insight is that peer review and rapid evolution are the path to software reliability when the whole Internet world is the talent pool, because large numbers of persons are willing to work for prestige or the sheer thrill of the chase.
