Confirmability was sought using the two phase process described above, and the credibility, transferability and dependability were tested by presenting our findings to the project's multidisciplinary Advisory group.
There are many different approaches for evaluating system dependability, and testing has been always an important one, being fault removal one of the means to achieve dependable systems.
It should be noted that for oxygen saturation the "SweetAge" system used a commercial device, and therefore for this parameter we only tested the dependability of the transmission system.
The e-business dependability instrument and its potential implications will not only aid researchers interested in designing and testing related e-business theories, but also provide direction for managers in improving the quality and performance of e-business.
In this controlled environment the performance and dependability of an ADAS is tested to great accuracy and reliability.
Dependability and confirmability of findings were tested by re-reading the data to determine the depth of evidence available for each of the final themes analysed by the research team.
We calculated dependability coefficients for test situations in which random raters are used (equation 2) and for a situation using a fixed rater pair (equation 4).
Based on these estimates, we subsequently performed a series of decision studies (D-studies), in which dependability coefficients for test situations with different combinations of numbers of raters and cases were calculated with equation 2 by GENOVA, for both the TTE global rating score and the TTE total checklist scores respectively.
"Much like cars are crash tested, condoms are taken through rigorous testing to ensure their dependability and safety including air inflation tests, water tests and electronic testing procedures that detect microscopic defects not visible to the human eye," the company says in a statement.
However, as light is shone on his tragic past and his hardened shell is tested, his true self emerges from the cracks, thus displaying his dependability in dire circumstances and his strong attachment to his fellow survivors, namely the flirtatious love interest Kate, who also holds a checkered past with the law.
