A prediction of reliability is an important element in the process of selecting equipment for use by [[telecommunications]] service providers and other buyers of [[electronic equipment]]. Reliability is a measure of the frequency of equipment failures as a function of time. Reliability has a major impact on maintenance and repair costs and on the continuity of service.<ref>Terry Donovan, Senior Systems Engineer Telcordia Technologies.
