Site reliability engineering. Site reliability engineering (SRE) is a set of principles and practices that applies aspects of software engineering to IT infrastructure and operations. [ 1 ] SRE aims to create highly reliable and scalable IT systems. Although they are closely related, SRE is slightly different from DevOps. [ 2 ][ 3 ][ 4 ]
Reliability engineering is a sub-discipline of systems engineering that emphasizes the ability of equipment to function without failure. Reliability is defined as the probability that a product, system, or service will perform its intended function adequately for a specified period of time, OR will operate in a defined environment without failure.

Certified Quality Engineer, often abbreviated CQE, is a certification given by the American Society for Quality (ASQ). These engineers are professionally educated in quality engineering and quality control. They are trained in researching and preventing unnecessary costs through lack of quality, lost production costs, lost market share due to ...
Six Sigma (6σ) is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement. It was introduced by American engineer Bill Smith while working at Motorola in 1986. [ 1 ][ 2 ] Six Sigma strategies seek to improve manufacturing quality by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes.
Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) is a concept of maintenance planning to ensure that systems continue to do what their users require in their present operating context. [1] Successful implementation of RCM will lead to increase in cost effectiveness, reliability, machine uptime, and a greater understanding of the level of risk that the ...
Contents. Quality assurance. Quality assurance (QA) is the term used in both manufacturing and service industries to describe the systematic efforts taken to assure that the product (s) delivered to customer (s) meet with the contractual and other agreed upon performance, design, reliability, and maintainability expectations of that customer.
Quality engineering is the discipline of engineering concerned with the principles and practice of product and service quality assurance and control. [1] In software development, it is the management, development, operation and maintenance of IT systems and enterprise architectures with high quality standard.
A fault tree diagram. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a type of failure analysis in which an undesired state of a system is examined. This analysis method is mainly used in safety engineering and reliability engineering to understand how systems can fail, to identify the best ways to reduce risk and to determine (or get a feeling for) event rates of a safety accident or a particular system level ...
