Software FMECA Workshop for Engineers and Non-Engineers by Tonex
This 2-day workshop is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of Software Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). Through interactive sessions, hands-on exercises, and collaborative discussions, attendees will learn how to identify potential failure modes in software, assess their effects, and prioritize actions to mitigate risks. The workshop aims to equip software engineers, quality assurance professionals, and project managers with the tools and techniques needed to perform effective FMECA on software systems.
Learning Objectives
- Understand FMECA Principles: Gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles and methodology of FMECA.
- Identify Software Failure Modes: Learn techniques for identifying potential failure modes in software systems.
- Assess Effects and Criticality: Explore methods for assessing the effects and criticality of identified failure modes.
- Develop Mitigation Strategies: Understand how to prioritize and develop strategies to mitigate risks associated with software failures.
- Practical Implementation: Engage in hands-on exercises to apply FMECA techniques to real-world software projects.
