Theoretically, the system reliability can be calculated as
System reliability = ( Hardware reliability ) * ( Design quality ) * ( Human reliability )
Together with testability and maintainability it affects the system availability (wiki). It is affected by the reliability of the system components and of its human operators ( Wiki ).
Reliability is defined in terms of failure
Reliability=1-Probability of Failure
It is the probability (wiki) of successful functioning during a specified time interval. (see Wiki ). It is measured by MTBF (wiki)
