At Mission Ready Software, we’ve spent nearly four decades analyzing the root causes of hundreds of thousands of software failures—more than any other organization in the world. Through this unparalleled research, we’ve identified that most failures stem from only a few hundred unique, recurring software defects.

Other classes focus on low ROI approaches
  • Other classes focus on finding edge cases in code

    These account for <30% and are exhaustive to find without an automated tool

  • Other classes focus on individual shall statements

    Most defects don't originate in a single shall statement.

Our class covers edges cases built from real world failures
  • Our class focuses on system design and specifications

    Our class focuses on the Top 100 Most Common and Easily Detectable Issues that arise early in development—often before a single line of code is written.

  • Our method is grounded in years of empirical data and engineering rigor.

    It all began with the creation of the “Common Defect Enumeration” (CDE), —a structured, publicly available catalog of software defects that have historically affected mission- and safety-critical systems.

Here’s how our process works for identifying the most common software defects  

  • Identify common defect enumerations that don't apply to your system or application

    For example, if your software doesn't have machine learning then it can't encounter machine learning failure modes.

  • Design viewpoint

    The edge cases are hiding in plain site. You will learn how to review the relevant common defect enumerations while looking at your system and software models such as the state diagrams, interfaces, critical sensors.  Don't focus on individual "shall" statements but instead focus on what's missing from the collection of shall statements.

  • Actional edge case testing recommendations

    Each of the CDEs can be tested in simulation or fault injection testing. This class shows you how.

  • Requirement enhancement

    The specifications and design can be improved by adding or modifying a few controls and mitigations for the common defect, ensuring greater resilience and preventing future defects.
