SOFTWARE SAFETY TRAINING
Available as virtual self guided, instructor guided, DVD and on site.
The software safety training class covers applying the failure modes in Mil-Std-882E, NATA AOP-52 and the Joint Software Systems Safety Handbook to conduct a mission and safety-related SFMEA. This software safety course is available as virtual, self-guided, on-site, and virtual instructor-led. Software safety assessments are more effective against the failure modes most likely to occur and the viewpoint most likely to be associated with a failure.

Knowledge Base
Our software safety training course merges a software failure modes effects analysis and a software safety assessment into one analysis.
Compliant
Complies with Mil-Std-882E, NATA AOP-52, and the Joint Software Systems Engineering Handbook.
Flexible
The self guided training is can be taken on your schedule. The DVD option is also very flexible.
Cost effective
The student can conduct both the hazards analysis and the software FMEA. The student can also combined the software FMEA for safety with the software FMEA for reliability.
These are approaches for software safety analysis which aren’t so effective.
1. Analyzing each software requirement for failure is ineffective because software safety issues often result from the requirements that should have been stated but weren’t. It’s more effective to analyze the collection or requirements against a complete list of failure modes to determine requirements that must be added or modified to meet safety criteria. Our course shows the standard defect enumerations, including the safety criteria in the NATO and DoD standards.
2. Analyzing the software from a black box perspective isn’t effective because software fails from defects in the specifications, design and code. The viewpoint needs to be on functional root causes.
3. Conducting one software FMEA for safety and another software FMEA for mission. The software FMEA is highly effective for a safety assessment and a reliability assessment. It is a bottom up analysis so the FMEA can focus on both mission and safety. Then the safety engineers work on analyzing and tracking the safety hazards while the reliability engineers work on analyzing and tracking the mission hazards.
