Introduction to Software Reliability
Abstract
Carl and Fred discussing the subject of Software Reliability, as part of a comprehensive reliability plan.
Key Points
Join Carl and Fred as they discuss the application of software reliability tools and how to integrate them into your reliability plans.
Topics include:
- software vs hardware failures
- examples of software problems
- integrating software and hardware in analyses
- use of fail-safe and fault tree analysis
- software FMEA
- IEEE 1633 Recommended Practices for Software Reliability
- Software design reviews
- Software reliability prediction
Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability. Where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics. Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques, to field data analysis approaches.
