# Calculating resiliency scores The tables in this section explains the formulas used by AWS Resilience Hub to determine the scoring components of each recommendation type and the resiliency score of your application. All the resultant values determined by AWS Resilience Hub for scoring components of each recommendation type and the resiliency score of your application are rounded to their nearest point. For example, if two out of three alarms were implemented, the score would be 13.33 ((2/3) \$1 20) points. This value will be rounded to 13 points. For more information about weights used in the formulas within the tables, see [Weights](#weight) section. Some of the scoring components can be obtained only through the `ScoringComponentResiliencyScore` API. For more information about this API, see [ScoringComponentResiliencyScore](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resilience-hub/latest/APIReference/API_ScoringComponentResiliencyScore.html). **Tables** + [**Formulas to calculate the scoring component of each recommendation type**](#recommendation-type-coverage) + [**Formula to calculate the resiliency score**](#resiliency-score) + [**Formulas to calculate resiliency score for AppComponents and disruption types**](#resiliency-score-AppComponents-disruption-types) The following table explains the formulas used by AWS Resilience Hub to calculate the scoring component of each recommendation type. **Formulas to calculate the scoring component of each recommendation type** | Scoring component | Description | Formula | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test coverage (T) | A normalized score (0 -100 points) based on the number of tests that were successfully implemented and excluded, out of the total number of AWS Resilience Hub recommended tests.

The following tables show the weight for alarms, SOPs, tests, meeting resiliency policy, and disruption types. Disruptions type include Application, Infrastructure, AZ, and Region. **Note** If you choose not to define Regional RTO or RPO targets for your policy, the weights for the other disruption types are increased accordingly as shown in **Weight when Region is not defined** column. **Weights for alarms, SOPs, tests, policy target** | Recommendation type | Weight | | --- | --- | | Alarms | 20 points | | SOPs | 20 points | | Tests | 20 points | | Meeting resiliency policy | 40 points | **Weights for disruption type** | Disruption type | Weight when Region is defined | Weight when Region is not defined | | --- | --- | --- | | Application | 40 points | 44.44 points | | Infrastructure | 30 points | 33.33 points | | Availability Zone | 20 points | 22.22 points | | Region | 10 points | N/A |
