Abstract
Discussed are demonstration versions of six reliability prediction software packages: FRATE, MilStress, PC Predictor, REAPmate, ReCalc 2 and RELEX. The programs are compared on the basis of price, data-input process, output-reporting options, error handling, user friendliness, and other options. No attempt is made to rank the programs in any way since any such ranking is highly dependent on the user´s perspective and needs. Overall, the programs have many advanced features and provide powerful tools for assessing the reliability of a design
