The Philosophy of Stability Analysis
Stability analysis is the practice of ensuring the software under analysis works as intended not only immediately after being released but also after days, weeks or months of continuous usage.
It is used in addition to functional testing and telemetry diagnostics as a complementary quality analysis that can be used throughout the life of a product: from early phases of development to after-market.
Stability analysis helps predict the types of problems that users will encounter over time and how a product will behave after months of continuous usage. The analysis uncovers how likely specific errors are to occur and why they appear. Thanks to stability analysis, you can avoid unpleasant software surprises later on.
