A Level-Dependence Model and it’s Application in SFMEA
Yu Mei Wu, Li Jin Wu, Lei Sun · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
SFMEA is an important method of improving software reliability. To solve the problem that there are no clear levels or variable clues in Detailed-level SFMEA, focusing on software architecture, the Detailed-level SFMEA method based on Level-dependence model is proposed. The method as follows is advanced:Level-dependence model is constructed to make the software variables clues visualized; variables to be analyzed are selected combined with the model’s features; failure modes are identified based on the model’s attributes and common failure mode library; the affect’s propagation and causes’ analysis are converted to the reachability problem of the nodes.
