Presents the application of a domain-based reliability measure to systems that can be represented by Markov chains. A load testing algorithm is presented, and the measure is applied to assess the reliability of these systems after they have been tested. Data are presented for three industrial telecommunications systems that had been tested using the load testing algorithm, tracking the reliability as a function of the degree of system degradation experienced. >
