This paper presents a method to calculate the reliability of component-based software. The method uses the data sheet of COTS (commercial off-the shelf components), partitioning every component input into sub-domains. Then it creates a Markov chain and calculates the whole system reliability based on the relation of components. This method is plausible in calculating the reliability of component-based software.
