We introduce a quantitative measure $\varDelta $ of stability in optimal sequential testing of two simple hypotheses about a density of observations: $f=f_0$ versus $f=f_1$. The index $\varDelta $ represents an additional cost paid when a stopping rule optimal for the pair $(f_0,f_1)$ is applied to test the hypothesis $f=f_0$ versus a “perturbed alternative" $f=\widetilde{f}_1$. An
upper bound for $\Delta$ is established in terms of the total variation
distance between $f_1(X)/f_0(X)$ and $\widetilde{f}_1(X)/f_0(X)$
with $X\thicksim f_0$.
