Reliability

Breaking a promise cost credibility of an individual's reliability. One should always remember to keep his promise as it will go a long way in a relationship and it will contribute significantly to trust. Trust does not come in whether one is telling the truth or lying, but it also relies on the promise that one makes.

Here are some detailed definition.

The state or quality of being reliable; reliableness.

The trustworthiness to do what the system is expected or designed to do. Reliability metrics include the following averages: ROCOF (rate of failure occurance), MTTF (mean time to failure), AVAIL (availability or uptime).

Reliability concerns quality or consistency. Most often it concerns the consistency or dependability of a measurement or service.
