| When a reliability life test is planned it is useful to visualize the expected outcome of the experiment. The Expected Failure Time Plot (introduced by ReliaSoft in Weibull++ 8)provides such a visual.

| Using the cumulative binomial, for a defined sample size, one can compute a rank (Median Rank if at 50% probability) for each ordered failure. As an example and for a sample size of 6 the 5%, 50% and 95% ranks would be as follows:

| Furthermore, consider that for the units to be tested the underlying reliability model assumption is given by a Weibull distribution with <span class="texhtml">β = 2</span>, and <span class="texhtml">η = 100</span> hr. Then the median time to failure of the first unit on test can be determined by solving the Weibull reliability equation for t, at each probability,
| |
| | |
| or
| |
| | |
| R(t)=e^{\big({t \over \eta}\big)^\beta}
| |
| | |
| then for 0.85%,
| |
| | |
| <br>1-0.0085=e^{\big({t \over 100}\big)^2}
