Reliability Testing Practice Exam

About Reliability Testing
Reliability is defined as the probability of failure-free software operation for a specified period of time in a particular environment.

Reliability testing is performed to ensure that the software is reliable; it satisfies the purpose for which it is made, for a specified amount of time in a given environment and is capable of rendering a fault-free operation.

Reliability Testing incorporates the results from both functional and non-functional testing such as Stress testing, Security testing, Functional testing, Production testing and more.

This enables the team to determine various problems in software design and functionality.

Why is Reliability Testing important?
Reliability Testing helps uncover flaws in system design and functionality.

Reliability Testing not only helps determine the number of failed test cases in a specified amount of time, but also helps uncover the structure of repeating failures. Once this is revealed, it becomes easy to modify the code to ensure that the reliability of the software is enhanced.

Reliability Testing is one of the key to better software quality. This testing helps discover many problems in the software design and functionality. The main purpose of reliability testing is to check whether the software meets the requirement of customer's reliability.
