Reliability Growth Planning and Management
What is Reliability Growth?
The Reliability Growth process should start early in the design phase, once initial discovery of failure modes and their causes is complete and initial estimates of system reliability are made. The Reliability Growth process then models, predicts and tracks the improvements in system reliability as mitigation strategies are applied… Read More

What is Reliability Data Collection and Analysis?
Data collection and analysis facilitates an understanding of field operational use profiles and environmental stress data and is critical for ensuring design/process robustness. Collection and analysis of failure data to root failure cause identification and mitigation is critical to ensure product/process reliability growth and success over its life cycle.

Software Reliability Resources
Software Reliability In-Person Training
Register for a Software Failure Modes Effects Analysis course hosted Tuesday, Nov. 15 through Thursday, Nov. 17, 2022 at the DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Orlando – Disney Springs in Lake Buena Vista, FL.
If you’re involved in software design or development, you must consider potential failure modes in the software. This course… Read More
What is Software Reliability?
Software reliability is the probability that software will operate failure-free for a specified period of time in a specified environment. It is an important contributing factor impacting system reliability (which includes hardware and human reliability). Various approaches can be used to improve the reliability of software with an appropriate balance between development… Read More

Reliability Engineering Terms – Physics of Failure (PoF)
What is Reliability Physics/Physics-of-Failure Analysis?
Reliability Physics is a technique for identifying and understanding the physical processes and mechanisms of failure. Currently, the terminology “Physics-of-Failure” (PoF) is widely used and is synonymous with reliability physics.
What’s the payoff?
Many consider PoF modeling to provide a distinct advantage over traditional statistics-based methods… Read More

Reliability Engineering Terms – Root Cause Analysis
What is Root Cause Analysis?
Root cause analysis (RCA) is a class of problem-solving methods aimed at identifying and eliminating the root cause of failures. The root cause of a failure mode is defined as the lowest-level condition (people, process, software, material, documentation or requirements) that is responsible for causing… Read More
