What is Durability?

 , updated on
Durability is the ability to endure expected conditions over time. It is a type of quality and reliability that is associated with long lasting items that don't break with stress. For example, a spacecraft that can endure the stresses of multiple launches and reentries to be reused over the course of several decades.

Information Technology

In the context of information technology, durability is a transaction that won't be lost once it is committed. For example, a database may be backed up in real time such that the transaction will be restored in the event of a system or storage failure.
