Abstract
Discussed are demonstration versions of six reliability prediction software packages: FRATE, MilStress, PC Predictor, REAPmate, ReCalc 2 and RELEX. The programs are compared on the basis of price, data-input process, output-reporting options, error handling, user friendliness, and other options. No attempt is made to rank the programs in any way since any such ranking is highly dependent on the user's perspective and needs. Overall, the programs have many advanced features and provide powerful tools for assessing the reliability of a design.<>
