| Abstract |

The study of software architectures is emerging as
an important discipline in software engineering, due
to its emphasis on large scale composition of software
products, and its support for emerging software
engineering paradigms such as product line
engineering, component based software engineering,
and software evolution. Architectural attributes differ
from code-level software attributes in that they focus
on the level of components and connectors, and that
they are meaningful for an architecture. In this paper,
we focus on a specific architectural attribute, which is
the error propagation probability throughout the
architecture, i.e. the probability that an error that
arises in one component propagates to other
components. We introduce, analyze, and validate
formulas for estimating these probabilities using
architectural level information.
