The test consists of starting-up the unit, and observing the outcomes, either success or failure. According to the total successes total failures (TSTF) test procedure, a unit under test is accepted when a specified number of successes is observed before a specified number of failures; otherwise, the unit is rejected. We study the TSTF procedure for dependent start-ups where the outcome of the present start-up depends on the total number of successful start-ups so far. The main characteristics of the TSTF test are obtained under this previous-sum dependent model, and numerical illustrations are presented.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPositive dependenceprevious-sum dependent modelstart-up reliabilityObserving D FailuresMarkov DependenceRejectionUnitsArticle10.1109/TR.2011.21822192-s2.0-84858157959
