Design for Reliability: Information and Computer-Based Systems (Hardcover)

System reliability, availability and robustness are often not well understood by system architects, engineers and developers.  They often don’t understand what drives customer’s availability expectations, how to frame verifiable availability/robustness requirements, how to manage and budget availability/robustness, how to methodically architect and design systems that meet robustness requirements, and so on.  The book takes a very pragmatic approach of framing reliability and robustness as a functional aspect of a system so that architects, designers, developers and testers can address it as a concrete, functional attribute of a system, rather than an abstract, non-functional notion.

系統的可靠性、可用性和韌性常常被系統架構師、工程師和開發人員所誤解。他們通常不了解客戶對可用性的期望，不知道如何制定可驗證的可用性/韌性需求，如何管理和預算可用性/韌性，如何系統地設計和架構滿足韌性需求的系統等等。本書以非常實用的方式將可靠性和韌性視為系統的功能屬性，使架構師、設計師、開發人員和測試人員能夠將其視為具體的、功能性的系統屬性，而不是抽象的、非功能性的概念。
