Nasa Software Assurance and Software Safety Standard

Our benchmarking shows that the criteria discussed in NASA Software Assurance and Software Safety Standard 8739.8a is also correlated to reduced software defect density and increased reliability in addition to affecting software safety. These criteria are a standard consideration in the software FMEA services we provide.

Ann Marie and her team have successfully implemented safety-related practices in the NASA Software Safety Handbook 8719.13. Our benchmarking study shows that several of these practices, besides affecting safety, correlate to reduced software defect density and increased software reliability. 

Ann Marie Neufelder developed the NASA software FMEA and software FTA webinars as well as NASA’s Software Analyses training class.  

NASA-STD-87398-RevisionB

Ann Marie has also researched and categorized many software failures in the space industry by root cause. Faulty data and faulty error handling are so far the most common.  Faulty timing, faulty sequencing, faulty processing and faulty state management are other root causes.
