Original Abstract Submitted

Described are techniques for software test reliability characterization. The techniques include receiving a test failure for a software under development in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The techniques further include identifying, from a software testing repository communicatively coupled to the IDE, a similar failed software test. The techniques further include applying a reliability index of the similar failed software test to the test failure. The techniques further include displaying, on a graphical user interface communicatively coupled to the IDE, a graphical illustration indicating the reliability index associated with the test failure.
