Learn how to model, predict, and manage systemreliability/availability throughout the development life cycle
Written by a panel of authors with a wealth of industryexperience, the methods and concepts presented here give readers asolid understanding of modeling and managing system and softwareavailability and reliability through the development of realapplications and products. The modeling and prediction techniquesand tools are customer-focused and data-driven, and are alsoaligned with industry standards (Telcordia, TL 9000, ISO, etc.). Readers will get a clear understanding about what real-worldreliability and availability mean through step-by-step discussionsof:
* System availability
* Conceptual model of reliability and availability
* Why availability varies between customers
* Modeling availability
* Estimating parameters and availability from field data
* Estimating input parameters from laboratory data
* Estimating input parameters in the architecture/designstage
* Prediction accuracy
* Connecting the dots
This book can be used by system architects, engineers, anddevelopers to better understand and manage thereliability/availability of their products; quality engineers tograsp how software and hardware quality relate to systemavailability; and engineering students as part of a short course onsystem availability and software reliability.
