What is Reliability
Testing?
A system's
reliability is a measure of stability and overall performance of a system
collated during an extended period of time under various specific sets of test
conditions. This type of testing incorporates the results from
non-functional testing such as stress testing, security testing, network
testing, along with functional testing. It is a combined metric to define
a system's overall reliability. A measure of reliability should be
defined by business requirements in the form of service levels. These
requirements should then be used to measure test results and the overall
reliability metric of a system under test.
Software
reliability is measured in terms of Mean Time between Failures (MTBF).
