Abstract: Several methods (Bayesian, testing, confidence) are presented for evaluating the probability ‘p’ that the outputs of a computer code, given random inputs, will meet a set of evaluation criteria. They all lead to the same expression for the confidence β that p exceeds some desired value q, based on the results of running the code independently N times. This expression is independent of the number of evaluation criteria.
