In this paper, we consider the estimation problem of stress-strength reliability of a parallel system with cold standby redundancy. The reliability of the system is estimated when both strength and stress variables follow the exponential distribution and associated approximate confidence interval is constructed. Two different maximum likelihood and Bayes estimates are obtained. Lindley's approximation method has been utilized for Bayesian calculations. A real-life data set is analysed for illustrative purposes of the findings.
