We present two case studies in software testing to illustrate two different goals of software reliability analyses. The first case study is about administrative software of an insurance company, while the second one is on an issue of national interest in the Netherlands: safety of software control of a closable dam as part of a sea flood protection system. We pay attention to practical and methodological aspects that often are ignored or not correctly treated in software reliability analyses. In particular, we provide pointers to recent statistics literature that are relevant for software reliability.
