Overview: One definition of reliability is “the measure of unanticipated interruptions during customer use.” The unanticipated interruptions typically arise from unexpected failures. During a reliability test, one important goal is to maximize the opportunities for observing unexpected failures, so that they can be fixed. The fewer the opportunities we have to observe unpredictable failures, the greater the chance that we are not testing to measure reliability. A test may appear to be a reliability test and actually be a durability type test when opportunities for discovering unscheduled interruptions are minimized unintentionally. In other words, this document summarizes the differences between reliability and durability testing.
