From the FMMD data model it is possible to link

\subsection{Description of a typical `test rig'}
|
|
|
|
|
|
Outline the fmmd process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Show modules
|
|
which would be testable by a test rig
|
|
|
|
values read or logical conditions from {\dcs}
|
|
at a mid-level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Trace a theoretical example and show how FMMD detects the
|
|
possible causes of the test rig failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exlain why this would save time and money, and possibly
|
|
because testing is typically done in house
|
|
reveal any unknown failure modes of {\dcs} or even base components.
