Abstract
The paper evaluates the reliability of software systems using the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches. In this paper, object-oriented software systems are evaluated using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS). The selection criteria are determined on the basis of ISO/IEC 25010 quality model. The approaches evaluate and select the most reliable object-oriented software system considering the fuzzy nature of decision-making process. The work is different in nature and easy in comparison to the other reliability evaluation approaches which can be explored according to the needs of an individual from various paradigms of software industry.
