In this paper the reliability is presented as an important feature for use in mission-critical
distributed applications. Certain aspects of distributed systems make the requested level of
reliability more difficult. An obvious benefit of distributed systems is that they serve the global
business and social environment in which we live and work. Another benefit is that they can
improve the quality of services, in terms of reliability, availability and performance, for the
complex systems. The paper presents results of a study conducted by the students of Economic
Informatics at the University "Lucian Blaga" Sibiu, over four months. The studied population
was represented by several distributed applications made under the object oriented
programming techniques. This study aimed to estimate the reliability of these applications
using object-oriented design metrics validation techniques.
Keywords: Distributed Applications, Software Reliability, Software Metrics, Fault, Tolerance
