Navigating the IEEE 1633 and SAE 1025 FMEA
Ten training classes, each addressing a specific piece of software reliability engineering — mapped here to IEEE 1633, SAE 1025 FMEA, the DoW Reliable Software SOW, and the Requs AI product suite, so you can find the right class for the standard, task, or tool you're working with.
Every class in the Requs AI Training Series
Each class below stands on its own — take them in order, or jump straight to the one that matches what you're working on.
Identify Wasteful Development Practices
Characteristics of successful software organizations, where the bottlenecks are, and how to run a gap analysis against the software iron triangle.
- Duration: 1 Day
- Prerequisites: None
- Recommended for: Optima, Risk ID, or Predict users
Identify Software Program Risks Early
Reasons software projects fail, software project risks, and the factors that separate successful programs from failed ones.
- Duration: 1 Day
- Prerequisites: None
- Recommended for: Risk ID or Predict users
Predict Software Defects and When They Will Be Discovered
Defect density, defect removal efficiency, and predicting when defects will surface — in testing versus in operation — before code is written.
- Duration: .75 Day
- Prerequisites: Identify Software Program Risks Early
- Standards: IEEE 1633 clause 5.3.2
Predict Software Failure Rate, Availability & Reliability
How to predict software failure rate, availability, and downtime — early enough to still change course if the requirement can't be met.
- Duration: 1 Day
- Prerequisites: Reliable Software 101, Predict Software Defects
- Standards: IEEE 1633 clause 5.3
The Most Common Edge Cases
Common software failure modes and edge cases from a real mission and safety-critical system — the 70% of defects that don't originate in code.
- Duration: 1 Day
- Prerequisites: None
- Recommended for: Edge Case users
Design & Test for Hidden Edge Cases
How to design controls for hidden edge cases and how to actually test for them — beyond what "shall" testing and code coverage tools can catch.
- Duration: 1 Day
- Prerequisites: The Most Common Edge Cases
- Recommended for: Edge Case users
Software FMEA Training
Effective vs. ineffective FMEA examples, jump-starting the FMEA with the CDE, tagging hazards, 6D CDE FMEA as a safety analysis, and IEEE 1633 clause 5.2.2.
- Duration: 1 Day
- Prerequisites: The Most Common Edge Cases
- Standards: IEEE 1633 clause 5.2.2, SAE 1025 §7
System Availability Objectives & Error Budgets
Apportioning failures to software, combining software and hardware predictions, and establishing top-down or bottom-up reliable software allocations.
- Duration: Half Day
- Prerequisites: None
- DoW SOW: System Reliability Model, Software Allocation
Software Fault Tree Analysis
Why "software failed" isn't effective fault tree analysis, and how to describe what the software actually did wrong, guided by the CDE.
- Duration: 1 Day
- Prerequisites: The Most Common Edge Cases
- Uses: Common Defect Enumeration
Software Reliability Growth Models
Collecting failure data, estimating model parameters, forecasting failure rate and MTBSF, and making a release decision per IEEE 1633 clause 5.5.
- Duration: 1 Day
- Prerequisites: None
- Standards: IEEE 1633 clause 5.4, clause 5.5
Mapping the classes to IEEE 1633, SAE 1025 FMEA & the DoW Reliable Software SOW
Where a class maps directly to a standard clause or a DoW Reliable Software SOW task, it's shown below. For the full set of SOW task resources, see Reliable Software Resources.
Each training class mapped to its specific IEEE 1633 clause, SAE 1025 FMEA section 7 applicability, and the DoW Reliable Software SOW task it supports.
Mapping the classes to the Requs AI product suite
Every class stands on its own without any Requs AI product — but each one pairs naturally with the tool covering the same ground.
Each training class mapped to the Requs AI products it pairs with — a checkmark means the pairing is core to the class, "Optional" means the class stands on its own but the tool adds value.
