Reliability is of vital importance for distributed software application and should be ensured in all stages of the development cycle. Ensuring a high level of reliability for distributed software applications leads to competitive applications which increase the level of user satisfaction. The aim of this paper is to present techniques and methods which ensure high level of reliability. A model for estimating the reliability through risk assessment is presented. Distributed software applications are composed of multiple components spread across multiple heterogeneous platforms and partial failures are inherent. To ensure high reliability is very important that the input data for distributed application components are correct and complete.
