Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 11, Problem 11.1E
Explanation of Solution
Reliability Specifications:
Reliability testing is used to measure the reliability of the system. It is not easy to apply the reliability measurement practically. The difficulties that arise are as follows:
- Operational profile uncertainty – The operational profiles that are based on experience with other systems will not be an accurate reflection of the real use of the system.
- High costs of test data generation – Generating large volumes of data in an operational profile is very expensive.
- Statistical uncertainty when high reliability is specified – Statistically significant number of failures is generated which allow accurate reliability measurements. Few failures occur when the software is reliable and it is difficult to generate new failures.
- Recognition failure – One can identify deviations from a formal specification that they have, but if the specification is in formal language then there may be ambiguities. It is not obvious whether or not a system failure has occurred.
It is because of the above given difficulties, it is practically impossible to validate reliability specifications when these are expressed in terms of a very small number of failures over the total lifetime of a system.

Consider a Superstore Database which consists of 3 tables, Orders, Returns, and Managers. The CSV files have been provided along with this DOC file in the Midterm 2 Link in the Moodle. Answer the questions as below:
Use the created table as in the provided SQL query file, solve the problems as mentioned below. You will have to import the respective CSV files of the above created tables as without them, it is impossible to solve the questions below. If you are not able to upload the files successfully, do not leave the query questions. Just write the query to the best of your knowledge. Do not copy. To be graded for the screenshot answer, you must upload the CSV properly and paste the resulting screenshot of the queries as asked.

Register a Bunny: Store the bunny's name, poem, and initialize the egg count to 0.
Modify an Entry: Change the bunny's poem or update the egg count.
Delete a Bunny: Remove a registered bunny from the list.
List All Bunnies: Display all registered bunnies and their details.
Save & Load Data: Store bunny data in a file to persist between runs.
Use a struct to represent a bunny contestant.
