A variety of personal characteristics of the programmers as the basis of success of the program diversity

Abstract

One method of improving the reliability of software systems (PS), especially in the promising development of critical application systems, is software diversity. The success of its use depends on the successful choice of developers simultaneously create versions. At equality training developers this choice is determined by their personal characteristics. It depends on a variety of characteristics within the team tasked to implement the project. This issue of diversity was investigated by us on the basis of statistical data, both own and previously published, on the distribution of personal characteristics among the SS's  developers. It is shown that taking further as some of the hypothesis model of diversity mechanism, you can get more definite forecasts about its likely success.
