Abstract

Markov chains have been used successfully to model system use, generate tests, and compute statistics about anticipated system use in the field. A few reliability models are in use for Markov chain-based testing, but each has certain limitations. A reliability model that is gaining support in field use is presented here, along with a modification of a common stopping criterion. While the presentation of the reliability model has been given previously,1 a discussion of the underlying assumption of independence has not.
