Software Safety Hazard Analysis Training 

A practical analysis starts with what really can and will go wrong

 

The software safety hazards analysis training class covers the application of Common Defect Enumerations to safety-critical software. These methods shown in this class can be applied in any industry for any software safety hazards analysis.  The Common Defect Enumeration doesn’t replace a subject matter expert.  However, it provides a structured list of things that have historically contributed to safety and mission failures.   These are approaches for software safety hazards analysis that aren’t as effective

  • Code view approach

    These account for <30% and are exhaustive to find

  • CSCI black box approach

    By the time you have this data, the project can already be late due to resource misallocation

  • One "shall" statement at a time

    Only about 9% of all defects originate in a single shall statement. Very expensive. It's more efficient to run requirements analyzers.

  • Unlikely hazard causes

    Other classes skimp on the root causes or teach a boilerplate of 5 or 6 causes that aren't really tagged to most failures

  • Narrow hazards focus

    Our classes assume there aren't any unknown hazards

  • Our class focuses on system design and specifications

    That's where most failure modes originate AND where they are the easiest to see

  • Learn about the likely root causes

    We built the Common Defect Enumeration list from the unique root causes behind hundreds of thousands of failures

  • Learn how to see new hazards

    Sometimes the most significant hazard isn't on the PHA

Ineffective FMEA software approaches

The only software safety hazard analysis course of its kind

More than just an analysis

Knowledge Base

Built from the hazard causes that are most likely to occur. Built on viewpoints that uncover most hazard causes.

Compliant

Complies with Mil-Std-882E, NATA AOP-52, and the Joint Software Systems Engineering Handbook.

Cost Effective

After completing this training class, the student will be able to conduct both safety hazards analysis and software FMEA.  The student can also combine the software for FMEA safety with the software for FMEA reliability.
