About this course

Teaches how to plan, prepare, develop and maintain a software failure mode and effects analysis (SwFMEA) with the SAE J1025 method across the software development lifecycle, in support of software safety planning and risk reduction. It explains when design FMEA, algorithm FMEA and SwFMEA apply within product planning and software development, and how a SwFMEA can support Automotive SPICE base practices (SWE.1 and SWE.2) and the software safety analysis of ISO 26262 parts 6 and 9. A running software case study takes participants through nine exercises: defining the software architecture, starting the SwFMEA, operating modes, software failure modes, design causes, prevention and detection controls, effects and classification, criticality analysis, and action priorities and plans. It ends with software verification and validation and a software design verification plan and report that includes fault injection.

Who should attend

  • Software and programming engineers, functional safety engineers and managers responsible for developing and implementing software in products

Prerequisites

  • A basic understanding of software development processes and software engineering; familiarity with APQP, ISO 26262 or Automotive SPICE helps but is not required

Learning outcomes

  • Determine when and how SwFMEA, algorithm FMEA and design FMEA apply within product planning and software development.
  • Prepare, scope and develop a SwFMEA using the SAE J1025 method.
  • Analyse SwFMEA results to prioritise and reduce risk, and communicate results and recommended actions.
  • Develop and evaluate a software design verification plan and report, including fault injection and functional safety requirements.
