Fault tree model is the graphical expression of connection of basic events which result in system fault, and used in qualitative and quantitative analysis of system fault model. Safety analysis includes fault tree construction,fault tree reduction, minimal cut set algorithm and top event probability computation according to basic event fault probability. Inheritance is characteristic of object oriented(O O) software, and superclass fault can result in subclass fault.This paper presents an algorithm to construct O O software fault tree from class inheritance relation graph.
