Abstract
Traditional failure modes and effects analysis techniques have
been adapted and extended to include assessment of software failures.
The resulting technique is used to assess the safety of embedded
real-time control systems designed for use in automotive applications.
The use of FMEA techniques in assessing the software safety of those
controllers has allowed analysis of the effects of a more comprehensive
set of potential failures, including data corruption, than is practical
using other software safety analysis techniques. The ability to assess
the results of data corruption has proven to be crucial in providing
feedback to design teams about the potential safety risks of the designs
analyzed
