Resumen:
The present paper summarizes the results of several studies performed for the development of high reliability software on i486 microprocessors, towards its utilization for control and safety systems for nuclear power plants.The work is based on software programmed in C language. Several recommendations oriented to high reliability software are analyzed, relating the requirements on high level language to its influence on assembler level. Several metrics are implemented, that allow for the quantification of the results achieved. New metrics were developed and other were adapted, in order to obtain more efficient indexes for the software description. Such metrics are helpful to visualize the adaptation of the software under development to the quality rules under use.A specific developed to assist the reliability analyst on this quantification is also presented in the paper. It performs the analysis of an executable program written in C language, disassembling it and evaluating its internal structures.
