Abstract

To ensure that software systems address the expectation of the users, different software quality models have been defined. These models measure characteristics such as the reliability of the software. To measure reliability continually, it is important to collect automatically the data. When the software is a legacy system, this task can be very difficult. This paper presents a well succeed experiment in using aspect oriented programming to assess the reliability of a web software system coded in Java/JSP. Preliminary results are presented.
