Abstract :
The author presents a method developed in Bull Systems to predict reliability and availability of computer systems. He examines the combined analyses of hardware and software reliability. The method is based on modeling, intensive measurements, and simulation on microcomputer during the development and production phases. This technique, already applied on DPS7000 systems, is continuously improved to offer more and more dependable systems to the customer
