Reliability prediction can be used to size spare populations. Provide necessary input to system-level reliability models. System-level reliability models can subsequently be used to predict, for example, frequency of system outages in steady-state , frequency of system outages during early life, expected downtime per year, and system availability.
The models have two basic types - prediction modeling and estimation modeling. 1.0 Overview of Software Reliability Prediction Models. These models are derived from actual historical data from real software projects. The user answers a list of questions which calibrate the historical data to yield a software reliability prediction.
Reliability engineering is a sub-discipline of systems engineering that emphasizes the ability of equipment to function without failure. Reliability is defined as the probability that a product, system, or service will perform its intended function adequately for a specified period of time, OR will operate in a defined environment without failure.

The Mil-HDBK-217 reliability calculator manual in combination with RelCalc software (or other comparable tool) enables MTBF reliability rates to be predicted based on design. A concept which is closely related to MTBF, and is important in the computations involving MTBF, is the mean down time (MDT). MDT can be defined as mean time which the ...
Below is an example of an event tree that represents a system fire: Under the condition that all of a task’s sub-tasks are fully represented within an HRAET and the failure probability for each sub-task is known it is possible to calculate the final reliability for the task.
Fides (Latin: trust) is a guide allowing estimated reliability calculation for electronic components and systems. The reliability prediction is generally expressed in FIT (number of failures for 10 9 hours) or MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). This guide provides reliability data for RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety ...
This halves reliability estimate is then stepped up to the full test length using the Spearman–Brown prediction formula. There are several ways of splitting a test to estimate reliability. For example, a 40-item vocabulary test could be split into two subtests, the first one made up of items 1 through 20 and the second made up of items 21 ...
More recent work in the area of physics of failure has been focused on predicting the time to failure of new materials (i.e., lead-free solder, [18] [19] high-K dielectric [20]), software programs, [21] using the algorithms for prognostic purposes, [22] and integrating physics of failure predictions into system-level reliability calculations.
