Reliability scenario planner
Model the labor value of assumptions you choose, including program cost. Export inputs, formulas, and results for review.
This calculator models your assumptions. It does not predict Zof performance. The initial reduction assumptions are zero; illustrative cost inputs can be edited.
Your environment
Distinct applications or systems under test
Average releases per application each week
Total person-hours per application release, not unattended test runtime
Engineering and QA headcount
Regressions requiring investigation

Labor value less your annual program cost, in USD.
Choose assumptions for your own scenario. Reduction inputs start at zero and are not measured Zof results. Values remain in your browser.

Methodology and assumptions
Every result follows the formulas below. Edit inputs to examine zero-benefit, cost-only, or other scenarios.
- Monthly testing hours = applications × releases per week × testing hours per release × 52 ÷ 12.
- Monthly incident hours = incidents per quarter ÷ 3 × hours per responder × team size × responder share.
- Annual net scenario value = (monthly testing hours avoided + monthly incident hours avoided) × hourly cost × 12 − annual program cost.
This is a labor-cost scenario, not a measured return or a quote. Avoid double-counting work. It excludes revenue, downtime, reputation, tax, and costs you have not included in the annual program cost.
