SQA Quiz

Problem:
A software system has experienced 10 failures in the last 5000 hours of operation. Calculate the MTBF (Mean Time
Between Failures).

Problem:
A system has a total downtime of 100 hours over a period of 5000 hours of operation. Calculate the MTTR (Mean Time
To Repair).

Problem:
A system has a MTBF of 400 hours and an MTTR of 20 hours. Calculate the system's availability.

Problem:
A software system has an MTBF of 600 hours and an MTTR of 30 hours. Calculate the availability of the system.

Formulae:
Availability = [MTTF/(MTTF + MTTR)] x 100%
MTBF = MTTF + MTTR
MTBF = Operating hours / failure
Availability = available time (“up time”) / total time
