Compiled by an experienced practitioner in the field, this book contains definitions of the major terms used in reliability engineering and software assessment. Approximately 2,000 definitions have been carefully selected from standards and literature published by such leading institutions as the IEEE and IEC. Alternative definitions of the same term are given where relevant, enabling readers to compare and contrast, thereby giving useful insights into different aspects of the same term. Extensive cross-referencing makes the book both easy to use and practical.
