Abstract :
The author argues that reliability growth is not necessarily well defined in the literature. Therefore he suggests that in all papers on reliability growth the author should identify what kind of reliability growth process they have in mind and, if data are being analyzed, which factors are held constant or randomized to smooth out the effects
