Reliability Engineering Terms – Warranty Planning

What is Warranty Planning?
Warranties are a formal commitment to deliver (or require delivery of) reliable products/systems. They identify what is warranted, warranty length, what scenarios are/are not covered, and liability.

Warranty planning should include people, process and product costs. Engineers developing warranty plans for their products and systems must be continuously aware that even warranted items…  Read More

What Is Surrogate Reliability Data and Why Use It?

Surrogate Reliability Data
Surrogate reliability data is summarized data from field testing that is not performed in-house. Often, the data will estimate the failures under specified operating hours/miles under certain conditions for particular components that are either the exact match or a similar part an engineer must assess to perform a reliability analysis.

This article is a…  Read More

Reliability Engineering Terms – Fault Tree Analysis

What is Fault Tree Analysis?
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a “top down” assessment of how a product or system failure (or other “undesired event”) can occur based on the behavior of lower-level functions, assemblies, parts, software, and human behavior.  The undesired event is evaluated through a set of intermediary fault states that, if present, would…  Read More

Reliability Engineering Terms – Software Reliability

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
