Introduction

With the release of Version 8, the capabilities of ReliaSoft's Weibull++ and ALTA software tools have been integrated into a single user interface with the ability to save both types of analyses together in the same project. This help file provides detailed documentation for both products. The features that are available on your computer will depend on the license that you have purchased from ReliaSoft. Within the user documentation:

• This graphic indicates that a feature is available only for users with a Weibull++ license.

• This graphic indicates that a feature is available only for users with an ALTA license.

Both products have also been integrated into the ground-breaking new Synthesis® platform, which offers reliability practitioners the best of both worlds: analysis tools that are optimized to fully meet the individual user's needs for a particular set of reliability engineering methodologies, plus integration into a shared repository that is accessible by multiple users throughout the organization and facilitates integration between all Synthesis-enabled software tools (Synthesis Elements). This powerful new platform makes it feasible to more effectively leverage and integrate the information from different types of reliability activities throughout the organization.
