Abstract
Trustworthy software evaluation is taken as the multi-criteria decision aiding process in this paper. The use of ELECTRE TRI method for evaluating software trustworthiness is presented. Software under evaluation is compared with some predefined norms and is assigned to one of trust levels. The entire evaluating process is described, including definition of problem situation and formulation, determination of the model and its parameters, and the application of the model. A metric for trustworthiness and an attributes weighting method are also presented. Some practical considerations are discussed in the final part of the paper.
