Testing for Reliability
How Reliable are your Products? How Confident are you about your reliability?
Reliability is a measure of how well a product will perform under a certain set of conditions for a specified amount of time. Many times, reliability will be stated along with a minimum confidence level. Reliability and confidence are two separate concepts. Reliability refers to a failure rate, while confidence refers to the minimum certainty that the claimed failure rate is accurate.
