is likely to be fault-free
-
is unlikely to cause a failure
-
is likely to be liked by the users
-
is unlikely to be completed on schedule
B
Correct answer
Explanation
In software testing terminology, reliability refers to the likelihood that a system will operate without failure under specified conditions for a given time. 'Unlikely to cause a failure' (Option B) correctly captures this - reliability is about failure-free operation, not being fault-free (A), user popularity (C), or schedule adherence (D). A system can be reliable even if it contains faults, as long as those faults aren't triggered.

B
Correct answer
Explanation
Software reliability is defined as the probability of failure-free operation over a given time under specified conditions. Option B correctly captures this - reliability means low likelihood of causing failures during actual operation. Option A (fault-free) is unrealistic as all software has some faults, while reliability focuses on operational behavior. Options C and D are unrelated to the technical definition of reliability.
