Abstract :
Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is an effective way to identify and mitigate potential problems within the design of a system. By adapting the general process outlined in MIL-STD-1629A [1] to the design of software, a rigorous software FMEA (SFMEA) process has been developed to drive the identification of risks to safety, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
