The system or unit survives when strength is more significant than the stress enjoined. This procedure is usually used in many companies to test their product. The reliability or the quality of the scheme or component is described by the parameters of stress-strength reliability ()) where X denotes strength and Y indicates stress. In this article, we adopted the statistical inference of R while the two arbitrary factors X and Y are independent and approach the Lomax lifetime distribution with common scale parameters. Also, the strength and stress variables are subjected to a partial step-stress-quickened life experiment. The classical estimation and Bayes method create the point estimate of R. Confidence intervals of R are computed with asymptotic distribution, bootstrap technique, and Bayesian credible intervals. All results are evaluated and compared under an extensive simulation study. Finally, the lifetime data sets generated from the Lomax distribution are used to analyze the system's reliability by estimating R.
