Software FMEA Training

In person, virtual self – guided, virtual instructor – guided, DVD

Software FMEA training covers effective methods for identifying software failure modes while cost-effectively addressing them. The 2-day software FMEA training class covers the top level, capability level, requirement level, and interface level failure modes as documented in the Common Defect Enumeration. Students will learn how to identify the software failure modes and assess the effects, controls, and likelihood. Most importantly, students will learn how to tailor the software FMEA to be both cost and time-effective. This class covers several real mission-critical examples. The students receive a software FMEA toolkit covering each analysis level’s most common failure modes. This class is appropriate for software engineers, systems engineers, software test engineers, and reliability engineers.
