\section{Conclusion}
% Elevator Pitch
PLD's provide a means to visually model failure modes within {\fgs} and after analysis
of the test cases, extract the {\fg}'s common failure symptoms.
%
Because PLD's model failure modes generally, they are not constrained to
any particular discipline.
%
Most methodologies are aimed at solving problems for a particular discipline,
UML for instance is only suitable for modelling software.

UML for instance is only suitable for modelling software;
FMEA, FMEDA and FMECA are good at modelling
electronic and mechanical systems, but struggle with software.

failure modes. More importantly the interfaces between these disciplines can be modelled
seamlessly. The bottom-up nature of its associated methodology, Failure Mode Modular De-Composition (FMMD)
ensures that complete coverage of all base~component failures modes
can be ensured.
