Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that measures the quality of a software system. During operation, the system performs a series of stress tests on the software system and determines a set of failure rates for the software system from the stress tests. Next, the system obtains a failure distribution from the failure rates. Finally, the system assesses the quality of the software system based on characteristics of the failure distribution.
