% Software FMEA % Software FMEA

% Glaring hole in approvals FMEA is performed on hardware
% and electronics, but with software we only get guidlines ( which mostly consist of constraints!)
%
% No known method of software failure mode effects analysis--- some work has been done on
% Sofware FTA a top down approach---
% Bottom up approach means all known failure modes must be modelled.
% SIL does not have metric or tools to analyse software for safety,
% it instead applies best practises and constraints on computer language features (i.e.
% in C limited use of pointers no recursion etc).
%
%
% Introduce concept of FMEA
% * bottom up
% * all failure modes for all componnts
%
% Concept of FMMD
%
% Look at the structure of software
% * a natural hierarchy
%
% Software written for a controlled
% Contract programming
% * describe concept
% * describe how this fits in with failure modes and failure symptoms concepts
%
% Describe how contract programming represents the failure modes of software
%
% Now describe how this fits in with the structure of FMMD
% soandso recomends inital PHA, for the purpose of example
% let us assign an application to this 4->20mA input ---
% PHA - pretend its a boiler water level -- too low hazard of explosion CRITICAL
% to high and we get superheated water in the steam DANGEROUS
%
% System Level SFMEA
% checklist, interrupts, synch etc
%
% detailed level
% variable maps
%
% then present complete results of SFMEA
%
% alongside HFMEA
