Short note on Reliability Validation.

Reliability Validation 

- Reliability validation involves exercising the program to assess whether or not it has reached the required level of reliability.

- This cannot normally be included as part of a normal defect testing process because data for defect testing is (usually) atypical of actual usage data. 

- Reliability measurement, therefore, requires a specially designed data set that replicates the pattern of inputs (the operational profile) to be processed by the system.

- Reliability validation is the process of measuring the reliability of a system. To validate that the system meets these requirements, we have to measure the reliability of the system as seen by typical system user.



Reliability  Validation Activities 

  • Establish the operational profile for the system.
  • Construct test data reflecting the operational profile.
  • Test the system and observe the number of failures and the times of these failures.
  • Compute the reliability after a statistically significant number of failures have been observed.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?
