How accurate is DNA paternity testing?

I know how the paternity tests read (exclusion,inclusion) and all about the genetic markers, but how accurate is genetic testing. How possible is it for DNA testing to identify a man that is not the father as the father, or a man who is the father as not?

To Jetfighter for his comment- I know who my childs father is. I'm asking because some girls coming around saying shes pregnant with my little brothers baby and I was doing some research on paternity testing. Maybe next time you should keep your snide comments to yourself.

Answers:

1DEAD ON ACCURATE.

Errors can occur, where if the person IS the father, and a mixup can lead you to believe that he ISN'T, but that is rare.
