    Dependability is the reliability of a person to others because of his integrity, truthfulness and trustfullness, traits that can encourage someone to depend on him.
    In computer science, dependability is defined as:

    ".. the trustworthiness of a computing system which allows reliance to be justifiably placed on the service it delivers .." 1
