Abstract
It is argued that there are (at least) two trends in reliability—Structural reliability and Statistical reliability. Differences and similarities are pointed out. An important feature of Structural reliability is sensitivity measures whereas much attention is devoted to importance measures in Statistical reliability theory. Both measures aim at describing the impact of certain changes on the reliability of the system. Importance measures are described in a Structural reliability setting the hope being that increased contact across the borders may enhance the development of both fields.
