Abstract

In the recent years, a lot of accidents caused by software have resulted in serious consequences. So software trustworthy has attracted attentions from the governments, enterprises and research institutions. In order to improve trustworthiness of software models in the early design phase, a trustworthy software development framework is proposed in this paper. It integrates characteristics of MDA (Model Driven Architecture, MDA), Petri net and temporal logic. MDA is used to improve model reusability, shorten software development cycle and meet ever-changing requirements. Petri nets are used to formally represent software functional models. Temporal logic is used to represent non-functional requirements of the model. Existing techniques can be used to formally analyze performance and check correctness of software models in the design phase. Thus, the purpose for enhancing software models’ trustworthy in the design phase can be achieved.
