Choosing a proportionate software reliability approach
A sound quality assurance approach is proportionate to the software’s risks, operating conditions, and users’ needs. Before adopting a reliability check, ask whether it covers a meaningful failure mode, whether its success criteria are measurable, and whether the team can reproduce and interpret its results. Consider how frequently the check should run: some focused checks belong in routine automated testing, while longer endurance or recovery exercises may require a scheduled environment. The goal is not to maximize the number of tests, but to build a practical body of evidence that detects important weaknesses without obscuring results in repetitive or poorly defined activity.
