MTBF - Mean Time Between Failures

What is meant by MTBF - Mean Time Between Failures?

"Mean Time Between Failures" (MTBF) is a metric used in reliability assessment of products. It represents the average duration between two successive failures of a system or product. MTBF is often measured in hours or other units of time and is an important indicator of the reliability of a product or system.

Typical functions of software in the field of MTBF include:

  1. Data Analysis: Capturing system downtime and uptime data to calculate the MTBF value.

  2. MTBF Calculation: Performing calculations to determine the MTBF value based on the collected data.

  3. Trend Analysis: Analyzing MTBF values over time to identify trends in system reliability.

  4. Alarms and Notifications: Setting up alarms or notifications when the calculated MTBF value falls below certain thresholds to alert to potential reliability issues.
