This also includes correct disposal of some resources, such as cleaning up <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporary_file" title="Temporary file">temporary files</a> and lack of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak" title="Memory leak">memory leaks</a>.</li><li><b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_engineering#Software_reliability" title="Reliability engineering">Reliability</a></b>: how often the results of a program are correct.
