Abstract
A fourth wave of computer-based network management system is here. Experienced network managers worry about the reliability of software. This discussion provides ways of testing software to improve software and system reliability, and it proposes a 'reliability footprint' in-process metric to monitor the effectiveness of a test program. Systematic ways of moving from debugging to assuring reliable network management system are emphasized.

Keywords: network management; software testing; reliability.
