Complexity
- Systems are often composed of numerous interconnected components, each with its potential points of failure.
- As systems become more complex, the number of potential failure points increases, making it challenging to eliminate all possibilities of failure.
Is 100% reliability possible?
No, it is not possible to achieve 100% reliability as it is not possible for something to work perfectly all the time. While we strive to create systems that never fail, achieving 100% reliability is incredibly challenging. Let us understand why perfect reliability is often considered impossible.
- Achieving 100% reliability is generally considered impossible due to the complexity and unpredictability of real-world systems.
- Even with extensive testing and redundancy measures, there is always a risk of failure due to several factors.
Below are some factors due to which 100% reliability is not possible:
