Using FMEA for early robustness analysis of web-based systems
Jianyun Zhou, T. Stalhane · 2004
Time pressure and quality issues are two main challenges facing today's Web development professionals. To achieve quick development of high-quality systems, a lot of methods and techniques have been proposed. A widely recognized strategy in current practice is to emphasize early quality assurance techniques, as the late detection of defects are well known to be expensive and time-consuming. We take robustness as a critically important quality attribute, and propose a general framework for conducting early robustness analysis for Web-based systems, based on Jacobson's analysis method and FMEA (failure mode and effect analysis).
