Abstract :
The gap between theory and practice of reliability measurement in software design is discussed, and key issues that underlie reliability measurement´s evolution from theory to practice are presented. A panel discussion in which reliability measurement´s salient issues, basic concepts, and underlying theory are outlined is included. Reliability measurement´s role in the development life cycle is also discussed.<>
