Abstract
A user-oriented reliability model has been developed to measure the reliability of service that a system provides to a user community. It has been observed that in many systems, especially software systems, reliable service can be provided to a user when it is known that errors exist, provided that the service requested does not utilize the defective parts. service, therefore, depends both on the reliability of the components and the probabilistic distri-bution of ulitization of the components to provide the service. In this paper a user-oriented relia-bility figure of merit is defined to measure the reliability of a software system with respect to a user environment. The effects of the user profile,
