Reliability theory of program testing
Acta Informatica, 1981The formal idea of reliability of a set of test data for a program is explored. Although this idea captures something of what testing should accomplish in practice, it has two defects: in general it is impossible to tell if a given test is reliable; and, if reliability is attained, the test points are linked to errors no longer present, not to the ...

A theory of reliability in database systems
Journal of the ACM, 1988Reliable concurrent processing of transactions in a database system is examined. Since serializability, the conventional concurrency control correctness criterion, is not adequate in the presence of common failures, another theory of correctness is proposed, involving the concepts ofcommit serializability, recoverability,andresiliency.

THEORY OF GENERALIZABILITY: A LIBERALIZATION OF RELIABILITY THEORY†
British Journal of Statistical Psychology, 1963“Reliability theory” is reinterpreted as a theory regarding the adequac with which one can generalize from one observation to a universe of observations. If the observation is randomly sampled from the universe—whether or not the universe consists of equivalent observations—the intraclass correlation provides an approximate lower bound to the expected ...

Reliability theory and clinical psychology
Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1989Psychologists who report test results usually ignore the published data on the reliability of the test. When reliability is taken into account, the standard error of measurement is used to estimate the magnitude of the range around the observed score in which the true score is most likely to occur.

On the reliability theory of the structures
Meccanica, 1974The researches into the reliability theory of the structures, in hypothesis of elasto-plastic material, “compels” one to determine the probability function of structural resistance. As it is very difficult to find this function exactly, various authors approximate its values following different methods.

In this chapter, some basic concepts of reliability theory, namely cumulative distribution function, survival function and hazard function, and reliability block diagrams, are described and their higher-order-logic formalization is presented. Some of the important properties of these reliability concepts are formally verified using the HOL4 theorem ...

A Survey of Network Reliability and Domination Theory
Operations Research, 1984We present a brief survey of the current state of the art in network reliability. We survey only exact methods and do not consider Monte Carlo methods. Most network reliability problems are, in the worst case, NP-hard and are, in a sense, more difficult than many standard combinatorial optimization problems.

This book provides a basic, but rather comprehensive introduction to system relia- bility theory and the main methods used in reliability analyses. System reliability theory is used in many application areas. Some of these are illustrated in the book as examples and problems.An immense amount of relevant information is today available on the Internet ...
