Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) - CI/CD Glossary Definition
Mean time between failures is the average elapsed time between one failure and the next for a repairable system, a measure of how often it breaks.
MTBF vs MTTR
MTBF measures how long a system stays up between incidents; mean time to recovery measures how long each incident lasts. Availability rises when MTBF grows or MTTR shrinks.
