Software and System Reliability
In his May Surfing the Net for Software Engineering Notes column, Mark Doernhoefer visits sites that show you how to "put some rigor into reliability assessment and help you get started with establishing processes and procedures to assess software reliability throughout your development life cycle." The sites include handbooks, a dictionary of acronyms, tools, consulting, papers from NASA and others, failure reporting, and more. Check it out in Software Engineering Notes online.
