The need for tools in understanding and communicating reliability performance is also explained. Many of these tools are explained in further detail in the chapters that follow.

Chapter 3 Developing Reliable Software (Keene)

This chapter describes good design practices for developing reliable software embedded in most of the high technology products. It shows how to prevent software faults and failures often inherent in the design by applying evidence based reliability tools to software such as FMEA, capability maturity modeling, and software reliability modeling. It introduces the most popular software reliability estimation tool CASRE (Computer Aided Software Reliability Estimation).
