<p>More Reliable Software Faster and Cheaper (Software Reliability
Engineering)</font>
<p>
<font face="Verdana" color=black size="2">
Software reliability engineering is a practice that helps you develop
software that is more reliable, and helps you develop it faster and cheaper.
It is a standard, proven, widespread best practice that is widely applicable
to systems that include software. Software reliability engineering is low
in cost, and its implementation has virtually no schedule impact.
<p>
Software reliability engineering works by quantitatively characterizing and
applying two things about the product: the expected relative use of its
functions and its required major quality characteristics. The major quality
characteristics are reliability, availability, delivery date, and life-cycle
cost. In applying software reliability engineering, you can vary the
relative emphasis you place on these factors. When you have characterized
use, software reliability engineering guides you in substantially increasing
development efficiency by focusing resources on functions in proportion to
use and criticality. It also maximizes test efficiency by making test highly
representative of use in the field. Increased efficiency increases the
effective resource pool available to add customer value.
