Abstract
System performance is no longer the only factor that keeps customers satisfied. Dependability is increasingly playing a determinant role, as well. Implementing a well-planned benchmarking program is essential for competition. However, while benchmarking is widely used to measure computer performance in a deterministic and reproducible manner, allowing users to appreciate the capacity of their computer systems properly, dependability benchmarking is hardly emerging. Indeed, despite the broad range of promising work on dependability benchmarking, carried out by different organizations and research groups in the last decade, we are far from having reached the consensus needed to get to the current situation of performance benchmarks.
